Rubber and Belts I burnt one belt and stretched another, and then thought should I go and have the 3rd one down it smooth and let it play me so... As days go, this was one rough day went out to have a bite. Before I left I stuffed small rug to wash, while I left sight (site). Returning I, when opened door choked on that wretched smell, burning belt of the machine left smoke-filled house to tell how dumb I was to try to clean not staying 'round to see that it would come out in the wash like brand new rug for me. So opened windows, turned on fans then left the smoke to drift when parking, noticed I, my gear not indicating shift. I left to buy a brand new belt, while parking tried to feel which gear was which, how could I tell these belts lost their appeal.. I figured out I had two wrongs and might as well make three. So I decided why not have another belt for me... "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |

Why not. I think by then I would have felt like a belt myself.  |

I like how you used "belt" in this poem. Very clever. |

WR..yup, that is exactly what the mechanic at the repair shop suggested and since I was across from the town tavern...I wouldn't have to worry about walking home. (of course the day was all uphill from there.  Thanks LongJohn..I didn't expect to write about belts but Toerags rubber and windshield discussion got me to thinking about my yesterday's events...

I have found that there is always room for another belt. Thank you. What light through yon window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. |

You bought yourself a new belt. When that happened to us, we had to buy a new washer! |
