Small engine barks
Passenger sits up, startled
Happy driver grins

Disconcerting grind
How healthy are my finances?
That was my gearbox

Not turning motor?
Before spending your money
Always check the ground

I'm surprised we've never done any MG Haiku (at least not that I've found 
in the last couple years of archives).

Haiku is a traditional Japanese "poem" that is more zen-ish than 
rhyme-ish.  It has a very rigid format - a 17 syllable verse:  First line 
is 5 syllables, second is 7, last is (again) 5.

Example:


My convertible
Sits so still in my driveway
Lucas electrics
