16.01.2022 'The Mechanic's Lament' I'm just a motor mechanic In an automotive shop. I'm supposed to know the answers ... From the bottom to the top. I should diagnose the problem With just a single look. And if I fail to fix it You think that I'm a crook. When I charge you for my labor You scream and bitch and moan, And even call and threaten me Upon the telephone. But technology in the automotive game Is advancing every year. And for the systems I must know I simply have no peer. Electronics now have made the scene And more are coming yet. Some models now will far exceed Your home computer & TV set. In hydraulics I have more to learn Than a specialist in pumps. There's brakes and shock absorbers To help absorb the bumps. Torque converters and transmission With servos, valves, and gears. With models by the hundreds Introduced in recent years. Fuel systems of a hundred kinds I must adjust and meter. Each far more complicated Than your water heater. I'm in welding, I'm in plumbing For water, oil and fuel. Compared to me, a plumber Is a kid in grammar school. There's alignment and there's balancing And God alone knows what. If I fix it, that's expected If I don't I'm on the spot. There's models, makes and systems Some seven hundred strong. And new ones coming up each year To help the scheme along. Now compare me to a doctor Whose prices make mine meager. Yet folks revere his expertise Ever more impressed and eager. The human body hasn't changed In six thousand years. And every model works just the same From the ankles to the ears. There's new equipment and techniques And medicines for sure. But this is true in my field too As much or even more. There's lots of books he has to read His procedures to define. But for every page in his field There's twenty five in mine. There's no comebacks and no warranty You pay for what you get. And then come back and pay again If he hasn't fixed it yet. His mistakes are often buried While mine come back for free. And he plays golf on Wednesday While my customers yell at me. We spend millions of tax dollars Sending kids to medical school, But if you ask for some in my field You're treated like a fool. Every body has one body, No one has more. But when it comes to cars, You may have three or four. But you'll go right on complaining Of the way I run my show, With no appreciation For the things I have to know. And you'll take your high school dropouts And shove them off on us, And expect them to be experts While you rant and rave and fuss. And when your car cannot be serviced I'll not hang my head in shame. So you'd best wake up Society And find out who's to blame. Credit - Unknown
