I love my Jaguar..
Yes I do
It's sleek and
Sexy too.

Plush leather in
Rich charcoal out
Sheer comfort's what
It's all about.

Brand new it's not
For thirty days
All problems fore
The dealer pays.

So when I found
The battery dead
They towed it just
As they had said

Back on the road
With that all fixed
I'm driving in
My XJ6.

The sunroof's back
Drive by the dunes
With attitude
And Classic tunes.

This sunny day feels
Good to me ~
Then Holy Smoke...
What could that be?

An old red pick-up
Driver's claim,
"Look underneath ~
Your Jag's AFLAME"!!

Pull off the road,
Shut off the key,
In zero time jumped
Out to see

Two fire trucks
And cruisers three
All there to greet
Just li'l ole me..

"My Heroes, Thank you
One and all"
We laughed and chuckled
As I called

My friendly dealer
And he said
"Again I'll send you
A flatbed."

The fireman said
With a cute smirk
"Just fix this leak
And it will work."

The officer with
A huge grin ~
Said "Don't you come
This way again"!!!

Of course the group
Of them did say
"Why did you trade
Your Protege?"

I, of course, shall
Love my Jag
Forever and a day
But rest assured

Tomorrow morn
I'm getting Triple "A"!!

I love it - very humerous but tis true - triple A is a must thing to do.
I hope your Jag will give you trouble no more, or else you speak to your friendly dealer - look him squarely in the eye - and down the face the tears will pour!

Love this tale, reminds me of the Honda Sportscar we took to the States. When we went for a ride, so often we had to call a friend to tow us back home.

A really nice piece Nan.

This Jag sure needs the triple A
When things aren't going quite your way
But just make sure they never change
The traits that make this kitten strange
Love that cat!
