If Only My Body Were A Car

As heard on the 1XX Breakfast Show with Colin Magee.
IF ONLY MY BODY WERE A CAR...

If my body were a car, this is the time I would

be thinking about trading it in for a newer model.


I've got bumps and dents and scratches

in my finish and my paint job is getting a little dull ...


But that's not the worst of it.


My headlights are out of focus

and it's especially hard to see things up close


My traction is not as graceful as it once was.


I slip and slide and skid and bump

into things even in the best of weather.


My whitewalls are stained with varicose veins.


It takes me hours to reach my maximum speed.


My fuel rate burns inefficiently.


But here's the worst of it --

 

Almost every time I sneeze, cough or sputter....

either my radiator leaks or my exhaust backfires!

 

 

 

 
 

 
 

 

 

Thought Provoking Emails


From time to time Colin Magee has
received and read out some thought provoking faxes and e-mails from 1XX listeners from throughout the Bay Of Plenty region. 
 
Each time he reads them on the air during his Breakfast Show he gets phone calls asking "where can I get a copy?"  Well here's your chance to get your own copy.
 
We'll add some of those faxes and e-mails here for you to read and to print out for yourselves or to share with friends and family.
 
If you have some to contribute then e-mail Colin here and he may read it out during the 1XX Breakfast Show  and we may also include them on this page.
