To Travel or Not to Travel
I'm standing at the petrol pump
To fuel my little car
A queue has formed behind me
Stretching out afar
Calamity, catastrophe
My breathing comes in rushes
I can't undo my petrol cap
Will nothing spare my blushes
I try again and yet again
That tiresome cap is stuck
No petrol here for me today
I'm really out of luck
I drive back home the handbook's out
I follow what it tells me
Nothing happens. It won't turn
My mind is in a frenzy
Perhaps it is a 'Woman's thing'
And so I phone a friend
Even with his practised skill
The problem did not end.
So I was forced to make a trip
To where I bought the car
A young man came to help my plight
He really was a star.
Two minutes flat - the cap was off
I felt quite amazed
It was NOT what the handbook said!
My hopes once more were raised
The young man sprayed some liquid
To make the cap less tight
I travelled to my home again
My spirits now were light.

Make your handbook accurate
Don't leave it to conjecture!
