Believe it or not - this was set to be an actual 'Poem' with Rhyme - mostly Lines C & D. Yet another 'Goofy' Idea from Yours Truly! This Year - Had an actual 'Tune-Up' Done - complete Physical, with EEG, Sonograms, and all the 'Trimmings!' At SEVENTY now - the ole 'Motor' is still Tickin' - But, Trust me - there's been Many a 'Lickin!'

TUNE-UP? © - Tom Hyland - 11/7/10 Car Versus Human Body - ‘Check Engine Light’ Several Symptoms May Cause This - Ditto On Your Carcass! When ‘Brand-Spankin’ New’ - Both Need A Gentle ‘Run-In Period’ - In Early Years - Normal ‘Wear And Tear’ - Result In A Few ‘Dings’ - Here And There! Those Which Get Into ‘Sports’ - Usually Have More ‘Dents And Bruises’ - But - Good ‘Routine Maintenance’ - Helps To Avoid ‘Major Problems’ - Perchance! ‘Check-Ups’ And ‘Tune-Ups’ - On a Periodic Basis Are Wise. Often ‘Additives’ Are Prescribed - Like Green Tea - Some ‘Herbs And Tonics’ Act Like - STP! ‘Check Oil Light’ - Very Important! While One Runs On ‘Oil And Water’ And The Two Don’t Mix - That’s Why Both Have ‘Dip-Sticks!’ As The Years Roll By - And Higher Mileage Does Occur - More Maladies Arise - Like Aches And Pains - “Brake Jobs’ And ‘Podiatrists’ Are Normal Banes! Both The ‘Engine’ And The ‘Heart’ Are Critical - At About ‘One Hundred Thousand Miles’ - Sometimes Many Need New ‘Timing Chains’ - ‘Over-The-Hill’ - ‘Performance’ Wanes! Sometimes ‘Vanity’ Persists - Some ‘Owners’ Spend Money On ‘Face-Lifts’ - New ‘Paint Job’ Or New ‘Outfits’ - Or Other Such - ‘Tune-Up Kits!’ Set Of ‘Tires’ Or New ‘Shoes’ - Often Helps To - ‘Chase Away The Blues!’ ‘Lookin’ Good!’ - That’s The ‘Ticket’ - ‘Fill ‘Er Up’ At The ‘Spigot!’ Ultimately Though - When the ‘Race is Run’ - ‘Ole Silver’ Or ‘Goldie’ Has Had Enough ‘Sun’ - ‘Retirement’ Or ‘Trade-In’ Comes Too Fast - ‘All Good Things Come To An End’ - At Last! So - As Each Reaches Its ‘Mansion In The Sky’ - Ours Is Not To - ‘Reason Why?’ No Matter Whether We Were A Chevie or A Ford - ‘Smile The While’ - As You Meet ‘The Lord!’ © - TKH.

My breasts have been inspected,
My dipstick in & out of many a hole,
My life brought back from the edge,
Thank you God & Tom for this fun reminder,
Of how old we all are & are not...ed
