I work behind the counter
in an auto parts store.
Sometimes I'm called a genius,
Sometimes I'm called MUCH more!
I claim I'm not a genius,
but when the job goes sick
my customers ask me
"What makes this thing tick?"
I'm an engineer and machinist
and rarely, if bored.
I'm supposed to be an Einstein
combined with Henry Ford.
Folks think I know the numbers
of starters,belts and gears,
for every kind of automobile made
for more than forty years.
But life would be a pleasure
and I'd grin from ear to ear
If the customer would only know
the model, make, and year.
