Ode to Engine Failure

ODE TO AN ENGINE FAILURE

By Paula Pipenger

We see your trucks a smokin’

A comin’ down the road!

A huffin’ and a puffin’

Pullin’ a heavy load.

Her filters are a pluggin’

Temps are runnin’ high;

MPG’s are droppin’

But she’s still a gettin’ by!

Just keep a pumpin’ cheap ole diesel #2

And maybe, just maybe, it’ll get ya through.

But your truck’ll be a strugglin’

And she’ll be dyin’ day by day.

Cause Cetane is a droppin’

And injector deposits stickin’ fast,

Engine is a knockin’, metal is a rubin’,

Her power days are past.

But you can still save her

And make her “purr” along the way -

Just pat her little fender & feed her DFA!

‘R Fuel Maintenance® may not answer

All her little woes,

But you better be getting’ somethin’

Afore her big ole engine blows!
