For Sale by Dave FitzgeraldOne body. One careless owner.
Dodgy knees but functional donor.
Muscles, hard as a railway sleeper.
Six pack still there, just a bit deeper.
Too many miles for such a young age,
Chassis is bent, broken rib cage.
Rusty in parts, and a scratch here and there,
A sunroof makes up for the lack of hair.
Spare tyre provided by a drop too much beer.
Low price due to non-hearing ears.
All in all still a good runner,
For 14 years as an artillery Gunner!

Posted by Jeffrey Parren on 09/14/05 at 07:55 AM A really good write up on a self-description as if you were for sale. I like the six pack line as well, in the frame of mind of I have a six pack you just can't see it... I also relate well to "Too many miles for such a young age," that would definitely be on my For Sale sign. great write ~JPP |
