A SELF-STARTER SOMETIMES
NEEDS A LITTLE PUSH
Back in the day,
before brains
had electric starters,
you had to either pull the chord
or push-start them
(some folks
say bump-start, I say push!.)
Anyway,
you back the brain
up a hill, not too big of a one,
like Signal Mountain or
Rocky Top (yes, there really
is such a place)!.
So,
you push backwards a little ways,
and then you
let go and jump in,
If there is juice in the tank,
your brain should start
when you bump the clutch,
I mean push…unpush…

A much better perspective from atop a hill!. Electric starts are overrated! Shoes, stimulants and free falls seem to always work best!Www@QuestionHome@Com
