What's that for?

Updated: Aug 9

From under the car a voice was heard

Pass that wrench beside you there

Which one is it? The big one or small?

Why do you need it? Do you really need it at all?


It's for the Wingwong for the Woozell is all he would say.

I need it to fix it right here or I'll pay

We all need the car to do what we do

So pass me the wrench love without further ado.


For years we would hear of the Wingwong for the Woozell

It became part of our vocabulary when a word could not describe.

What needed to be fixed or used at the time.

A word never forgot, like my father in his prime.

Very neatly done. In our house it was mainly the children who introduced new words. Road menders in our part of the world will forever be using a dramatic drill!
