Now That's Entertainment!

Squelch of the needle was a startler, and soundtrack of the suffering had completed,
If her excuse record had somehow become broken I would have felt almost cheated.
Never saw anyone spin from a musical chair like her; she does the turntablists proud,
A song and dance routine straight out of Vaudeville, and man are her distortions loud.
Covering my ears was useless, because her sonic wails penetrate straight to the brain,
Nothing says I love you like hurricane hysterics rumbling upstairs like a runaway train.

Jigsaw women are my specialty; I glue 'em back together when others wouldn't dare,
Give me another rearranged honey with a shredded psyche from tender loving care.
Whole world let 'em down somehow, so here comes Mr. Fix-Her with his expert tools,
You can repair anyone with screws, some nuts, the proper lubrication and slide rules.
Handymen are underappreciated, you know; we keep your ride running just like new,
The moment her warranty runs out, we'll perform scheduled maintenance on her too!

My way or the highway sounds pretty attractive right now; but where to hang my hat?
I've heard all the invitations to drop on in and sit a spell, wanna get me some of that?
Unknown in front of me, shambles in the rear view; this is not so difficult as I believe,
Gimme Hollywood imagery of climactic explosions moment I decide to take my leave.
This is a story that has a happy ending, though; well, at least if I finally have my say,
Shades over my eyes and exhaust clouds blinding my pursuers as I make a getaway.
