        I think ChatGPT did a fairly good job but

I chose to edit just a tad ~


Oh, Volkswagen camper, dear to my heart,

Your charm and style, a work of art.

But alas, your age begins to show,

And spare parts, now hard to come and go.

Your engine purrs like a contented cat,

But beneath the deck, a worn-out spat.

Your brakes and tires, in need of repair,

But where to find parts, a constant despair.

The mechanic scratches his head in thought,

And searches high and low, but all for naught.

Few replacement parts & hard to be found,

So sadly, your fate may soon be profound.

Oh, Volkswagen camper, your days may be few,

But your memories will last forever true.
