A poem for Tuesday

Oh what to do with an old ghetto Beamer

The window’s stuck open and the steering fluid leaks

I guess if I cared I’d at least keep it cleaner,

But I’m grateful at least for the soft leather seats.

Yes, I know the words don’t rhyme perfectly; I am an English teacher, after all (by the way, does anyone know what part of speech “prithee” is? I made up an answer for my students today, and though I sounded confident, I’m not at all sure).

It's an entire sentence: I [implied] pray thee.

Thanks! You sure do know your archaic English. Are you a teacher or professor as well?
