Best Mechanic Poems

I'm searching for a new man.
			(My lemon quit on me.)
			I'm a discerning seeker.
			(The smallest dent, I'll see!)

			I want a younger fellow;
			(Low mileage is a must.)
			Required is great get-up-and-go
			(an engine with no rust).

			He should desire me in his lap.
			(Seat warmers feel so good.)
			He's gotta be in...

a car owner who carried out his own repairs
during the turn of the 19th Century.
These days, it is a person who endeavours to fix
the car problems of the everyday motorist
he is part engineer, detective, and miracle worker
all rolled into...

But he'd done his last swab,
For after ten long years, he...

Me and my mechanic,
we be tight
Whenever my ride goes down,
he get it running right
My mechanic is a real auto pro,
when I send my car to him,
nowhere else do I need go
And on top of that,
he works with your checkbook,
he's very affordable
If you don't have a...

In  his  tiny  eyes,
I  saw  a  little  glance  of  life,
His  innocent  face  reflects  his  poverty,
As  he  was  facing a great  storm  in  himself,
His  gloomy...

He can fix anything

no matter the year

the make, the model

but has his own way 

 

No, just throw that

on the scrapheap

with all the others

 

Seriously, I just

want to work

I hate people

mostly but not always

 

Get a bigger hammer

depression my foot

you need a one way ticket

Old tin roof, plastered adobe walls that were melting
Two big Cottonwood trees, junk cars in the back
Cracked concrete floor, covered with oil and grease
Mexican kids running in and out, playing and screaming
Couple of water jugs, covered with gunny sack
In all of this was some sort...

Once upon a time I could change the oil and give the car a lube,
Tune the timing, change the plugs and patch an inner tube.
In days of yore I'd do simple jobs beneath the old elm tree.
Nowadays, I daren't twist a wrench without an engineer's...

Please allow me to introduce,
Without any pardon or excuse,
A man who needs no introduction,
To those he’s given instruction,

A man who has always helped me,
To understand extreme fallacy,
Through guidance and edification,
He spreads his extreme education,

Now he never reserves his lessons,
And always leaves his impressions,
Upon those he...

He didn't blossom out with vive,
have all the answers to self-live,
your problem at his door, arrive!

He'd say to wait, yet still today
in moments strife ~ he'd say OK
Your car ~ his home, in the driveway!

His small garage, filled to the brim
with parts and projects from...

You put new parts in my car that didn't need to be replaced.
You claim to be a reputable mechanic but you're two-faced.
Because of you, people spend more money that they work hard to earn.
We need that money for food and bills, we're getting tired of...

I like to sit and watch them boys
Tinker with their toys
Hood up, hands grimy
Sweat pouring down handsome faces
Oil spots in weird places
I like to sit and watch them work with a master’s poise
Those car loving boys

I love to watch them 
gently 
O   p...

That little drive ~ filled ~ waiting cars
just others, counting "lucky stars"
Paul did it right, not many marrs!

Paul also was this small town's cop
to just curb violence, drinking's flop
so many years can use you up!

One time Paul came on 911
a possum ventured in our house

I've got alot of kids
So, alot of vehicles I've got
My property is starting to look like
A used parking lot

Some are talented in writing
Music for some 
The army for a few
Mechanically talented-none

I can do alot
But surgery has taken use of my arm
All I need is a...
