Automobile Mechanics

By Dorothy Walter Baruch

Sometimes
I help my dad
Work on our automobile.
We unscrew
The radiator cap
And we let some water run —
Swish — from a hose
Into the tank.

And then we open up the hood
And feed in oil
From a can with a long spout.
And then we take a lot of rags
And clean all about.
We clean the top
And the doors
And the fenders and the wheels
And the windows and floors. . . .
We work hard
My dad
And I.
