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!
