A Fiat Christmas...You gotta read this!

This was written by a FLU member and truly funny guy,Kevin Pound.I repost it every year because its a freakin' riot!
:

'Twas the night before Christamas, and out in the shed
Sat a tired old FIAT, its battery dead.
Its fenders were rusted, the floorpan had holes
The seats and the carpets had been eaten by voles
The tires had dry-rot, the gas tank was leaking
A turn of the wheel sent tie rods a-creaking.
So I put on my coat with a weight on my heart,
And went out to the shed to get it to start.
The engine turned over--there arose such a clatter!
I knew from the sound it was water pump chatter.
From under the dashboard there came a bright flash:
The wiring harness had just turned to ash!
�I�ve had it with Spiders!� I finally swore
�Enough is too much! I can�t take any more!�
When what to my red, teary eyes should appear
But a little Italian (hell, I need a beer!)
�Buon giorno,� he said, poking me in the belly.
�You needa my help? I�m Gianni Agnelli.
�This one can be saved; there�s no reason to grieve.
All you need is some faith--Man, you gotta believe!
�A hammer! Some duct tape! Get me more tools!
When you work on these cars, just make up-a da rules!
We�ll get her cranked over�no way that she�ll stall
(But stand over there wit� you back to the wall.)
A cough and a sputter, the cacophony stunning--
I couldn�t believe it! The damn thing was running!
The ghost winked at me and said, kicking a tire,
�Whatever you do, DO NOT TOUCH THIS WIRE!�
The old man then vanished amid sneezes and farts
But when the smoke cleared he had left me some parts.
So I opened the shed door and let the top down
Put pedal to metal and went out on the town.
And I thought to myself as I missed second gear
Merry Christmas to All and a Happy New Year!
