bzzzzt...bzzt.. bzzt

I arise early to start my day
I have lots of errands
No time to play
But for a change my car
Is sparkling to see
Because my Mid washed it for me
It's usually a dusty field
With kitty prints covering
the hood and windshield
I climb in at dawn with Lit by my side
It's too cold for bikes
She needs a ride
I turn my key and lo and behold
Bzzzt says the engine
Like a honey bee scold
I turn it again with heightening dread
Bzzt said the engine
That sucker was dead
I did lament how could this be?
Nothing was left on
That I could see
We get back out and I sighed
This is the third time
The dang thing has died.
We have a charger to hook it to
we charged it up and vroom
Good as new
It needed to run for a bit
To get the charge set
I'd have to drive to finish it
I cruised the neighborhood, said a prayer, lit some votive's
Watching for cops as I circled
who might question my motives.
When I came home it seemed to be fine
I could do all my errands
No need to whine
I had letters to mail and banking to do
And a pretty big list
for the grocery store too  
I hop in the car ready to go
Bzzzzt said the engine
Oh $#&%@..I mean Oh No!
I even called Mid hoping to find
a possible cause
For this bind
There's something that I need to know
Did you run the radio while you washed my car?
To which I heard...Ummm...No?
So I sit here waiting for The SeaMonkey to rescue me
Like a knight in shining armor
Bearing a New Car Battery
As I wait I sadly find
That concerning my day
I'm three hours behind
So if I don't visit today as I sit
Please know it's because
I'm having a fit
Bzzt says my brain I cannot get started
Bzzt bzzzt says my day
I'll skip the obvious bzzt rhyme for started.
I'm looking for some good vibes to borrow
Otherwise I think I'll
Start over tomorrow.

Vroom Vroom...off I go...

  1. You're so cute by making light of it, but I'd be ticked! Is the battery failing? Maybe you need to replace it since it won't hold a charge long anymore?

    1. Oh I was ticked all right! That's bad poetry born of frustration ; )

  2. Don't you just hate it when the day starts off like that? Hope the new battery got you up and running and that's the end of the problem.
