My car’s got the giggles
It’s happy as a lark –
Because it’s got new tires?
Or watched a funny park?
It’s four new tires that make it happy
And an alignment since who knows when –
But what really gives it mirth
Is they are filled with nitrogen! *
“They’ll make the tires last longer,
and to refill is longer apart –
Just bring it in; we’ll top ’em up
For free!” Now ain’t that smart!
* Yes, I know it’s nitrous oxide that is known as laughing gas
