Shaming of Parts
 
Hmm, the front brake cable needs tightening,
and the back blather is wonky;
the braggart’s bint looks a bit unstable,
and I think we’d better replace
the bolt and braces.

Your flimsy flapper is definitely loose,
and, to be on the safe side,
you’ll need a new wogget wiggler.
Those broken spokes shouldn’t be
too much of a problem.

Basic overhaul – hundred and fifty,
plus parts and VAT. Would you like
to talk to the salesman?
It’s a good time of year
to snap up a bargain.

He’ll explain about the ‘lawyer lips’;
it’s a retention device, to prevent
inadvertent loss of your front wheel.
Now do let me show you
the end of the summer range.
