She ain't purty, she's a bit old

[theoldchick]

Out lived her owner is what we were told
A bit rusty, one could see this gal was old
She wouldn't move, woudn't crank
Not a drop was in her tank

She rolled off the trailer without a complaint
Lord, I thought, she needs a coat of paint.

The hubby took her in and pittered about.
A few days later he gave me a shout

'Turn the key and listen to her purr'
So I did and listened to the John Deere murmur

I released the clutch and off she went
Pistons pumped and her valves clattered
Her engine is strong is all that mattered
She might be rusty, she might have a dent
But I do believe the old gal was heaven sent.

and what a great poem!
At one point I even considered starting a "pic and a poem" thread, but lost initiative

Thanks!

I like reviving an old machines and putting them to back to work. This tractor steers well and the brakes work great. Always a plus for me!
