Hat Trick

 

 

3#%^&*,##)?/+~-

says the mechanic

what does it mean

he's talking

a foreign language

stuff I have never heard of

worse yet he acts

like I should understand

I nod my head

pretending I do

but in reality I have no clue

then I say okay

bottom line

how much

he says $500

I say fine

what else can I do

he's the magician

I am just the rabbit

hoping

the hat trick works.
