Elbow Grease

Berniece

Don’t thank me

for those repairs

Pay me what you owe me

 

Your oily helplessness

clogs the filters

 

You threw my torque wrench

in a fit of rage

 

Fix it yourself

 

I liked the maintenance

until you took it

for granted

 

I’m not

your mechanic

 

Matter of fact

I won’t even bill you

 

Just leave my shop

    It used to be that people did their own repairs but the car in the digital age got too complicated and no one fixes their own anymore. it is so much easier dumping one's brain in the lap of a brain mechanic so blame can be shifted. Loved the metaphor. Well done
