Dear Sir

The mechanism leaks,

Fails ignition, peak power

And thrust.

I drill with ash.

When it first came, I kept

It oiled and worked it often

Even

With no real job.

Back then it was easy

To penetrate and pin wood

Firmly

In place with it.

Now my own paycheck is

Slight, my boss unsatisfied.

Guys would

Laugh if they knew.

Jesus it came freely

Included, not top of the

Line but

Reliable

Enough for most small jobs

A not surprising pleasure

Some days.

So can it be

Reconditioned, repaired

Replaced even if I have

To pay

For shipping, parts

And labor, or tell me

What am I supposed to do

With it

Now and henceforth?
