<div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">Twas the day
before Christmas and out in the shed, Sat a tired old
Healey, it's battery dead.<br>

<div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">It's fenders
were rusted, the floor pans had holes, the seats and
carpets had been eaten by moles. (Don’t even ask about
the outer sills!!)<br>

<div class="cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql o9v6fnle

<div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">The tyres had
dry rot, the fuel tank was leaking, a turn of the

</div>
<div class="cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql o9v6fnle
ii04i59q">
<div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">So I put on
my coat with a weight on my heart, and went out to the
shed to get it to start.<br>

<div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">The engine
turned over-there arose such a clatter! I knew from
the sound, "timing chain chatter".<br>

<div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">From under
the dash there came a bright flash: the wiring harness
had just turned to ash!<br>

it! The damn thing was running!<br>

<div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">The old man
then vanished amid sneezes and farts, but when the
smoke cleared he had left me some parts.<br>

<div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">So I opened
the shed door and let the windows down, put pedal to
metal and went in to town.<br>
