Word challenge using the words Rattletrap
fleabag, tatterdemalion, jalopy, squalid,
dilapidated, down at the heel. Vintage words
It was kind of dilapidated
But it still ran fine
It wasn’t a total rattletrap
No matter what people said.
I would like to have a new car
But I’m down at the heels right now
having lost my job last month.
I live in an aged fleabag flat
In a squalid neighborhood
Until I get back on my feet.
Everyone calls me a tatterdemalion
But I pay my own way.
And when my old jalopy died
A piece of me died too.
I loved that little ‘0-two Jetta;
I’d get in and it would go
The best art of it all was this-
It always brought me home again.
I couldn’t face the breaker’s yard
And see her all torn down for parts.
I donated her to charity
To help pay for someone’s brand new heart.

I loved that '02 Jetta. It only had 85,000 mi on it. but the computer basket
developed a glitch no one here could fix and the nearest VDub dealer is 100 mi away. I got talked into a Camry which I hate and won't drive. Hubby is now my chauffeur.
