Hydraulic jacks
Sounds like something obscene I thought
some erectile dysfunction device
or an aid for relieving gastric distress
I don't know what I thought then
but after crawling about on cold
concrete working the damn lever
and looking in vain for a spot
on the undercarriage that would
support the car's weight
I ejected a stream
of damns
and shits!
Who invented these damn things
devised to drive a guy bonkers?
Damn him and his ilk
to mechanic's busted knuckles
for eternity!
