A Poem by a Dear Friend: Doris Kinney

MY CAR

My Car is Broken –

It Won’t Start Running.
Can I fix it? Yes, I can!
I can fix anything – I’m a Man!
I cannot fix it with a Sack,
But I can fix it with a Jack.
I cannot fix it with a Basket,
But I can fix it with a Gasket.
I cannot fix it with a Bench,
But I can fix it with a Wrench.
I cannot fix it with some Woo,
But I can fix it with a Screw.
I cannot fix it with my Ear,
But I can fix it with my Gear.
I cannot fix it with a Rose,
But I can fix it with a Hose.
I cannot fix it with a Heart,
But I can fix it with my Tool Cart.
I cannot fix it with a Hug,
But I can fix it with a Lug.

MY WIFE

My Wife is Broken –
She Won’t Stop Crying!
Can I fix her? I hope I can.
I’ll try to fix her – I’m her Man!
I cannot fix her with a Jack,
But I can fix her with a Gift Sack.
I cannot fix her with a Gasket,
But I can fix her with a Flower Basket.
I cannot fix her with a Wrench,
But I can fix her on a Bench.
I cannot fix her with a Screw,
But I can fix her with some Woo.
I cannot fix her with my Gear,
But I can fix her with my Ear.
I cannot fix her with a Hose,
But I can fix her with a Rose.
I cannot fix her with my Tool Cart,
But I can fix her with My Heart.
I cannot fix her with a Lug,
But I can fix her with a HUG!
