That Dang Tire

A summer memory

Standing, waiting by my beat up car

I look around each corner expectantly

I think I see him coming from afar

But I am standing here reluctantly

My tire is flat so him, I had to call

To find the reason for this subterfuge

A new tire I needed to install

Before this issue ends up getting huge

Did someone really slash my bright new tire

Or was it just a nail I did run over

My stomach starts to bubble up with fire

But then I’m fine, I feel rather bipolar

He finally comes from far away

What a way to spend my summer day
