INEXPERIENCE
It is never easy
to start a car
left standing outside in the cold
pull out the choke
let a richer mix
flow through
the inexperienced
overdo it
give too much
so then
have to wait
not sure for what
all there is -
is the waiting time
till things improve
temptation is
to have another go
turn the key
it seldom works
and only means
the wait is longer still
