My Car Makes This Loud Clunking SoundA Poem by Elton CampThe mechanic quickly got to the source of the problem.My Car Makes This Loud Clunking Sound By Elton Camp The loud clunks in his car caused Joe much alarm For he sure feared it was causing his vehicle harm So he took it in and made an emergency stop At old Honest John’s automobile repair shop “John, whenever I turn to the left or the right This terrible, loud sound is causing me fright.” John took the customer’s car out for a spin As Joe said, he heard the sound again & again The car was quiet and smooth running straight The clunk came when it was a turn to navigate The mechanic pulled the car over to the side He opened the trunk and saw what was inside Into the ditch Joe’s bowling ball he threw Now the car was as quiet as when it was new Back at the shop he presented Joe his bill “I believe that I have solved your car’s ill.” “But if the noise should happen to start again, Bring it back & I’ll do it for half as your friend.”
