flat tyre
a six-inch nail stands proud
from the rubber.
Each wheel has one nut
designed to be secure
with one removal key
for the whole car.

Which promptly shatters.

I order replacements
but the one which arrives
(special delivery from eBay)
is incompatible.

What to do now?

Another forty quid to the dealer.
You're having a laugh, surely?
