My Volkswagen Beetle had faulty sensors, but the sinker was the oil tubing that the dip stick sits in to give accurate readings gradually deteriorated causing the dip stick to slowly sink to the bottom of the oil pan. The light came on but the stick said it had oil. It will cost more to replace the engine than the car is worth.

Poor Jawny became ill

when his sensors sent a chill

alarms going off at each bend in the road

the dip stick lied about the load

low then out of oil going up hill

loud noise, billow of smoke and an oil spill

busted piston everywhere

people drove by unaware

priced an engine

checked Kelly Blue Book

the car is virtually useless

felt like I got took

no recall on the dip stick dilemma

wrecking yards claim

this situation is short of edema

So what is the cause of this freak thing that’s happened

to all the bugs that are not misshapen
