Poem
The fog comes rolling in To the added horror of it My situation with my car Being broke down and all And stuck on the side of An abandoned road Nobody has driven by It’s been eerily quiet It’s nearing dark now I’m lost at what to do Just then a van comes And actually stops here I noticed they are young women Yes, they are all young And to top it all off They are all cheerleaders Crazy luck, they are of no Use to me in my predicament I couldn’t fit in their van I don’t know the extent Of their potential help I told the driver that when They find civilization to call For help for me But I believe she forgot As soon as they left me I looked around me It’s now dark outside The fog is still present It’s difficult to see What shall I do now I decide to brave the forest I walk for what seems Like hours on end Looking for any people Just then there was a glimmer A sparkle in the distance I catch up to the place Where it came from It was an old automobile In someone’s old yard The house had a lone light Through a battered window I look for the door Just then I hear the siren Of a police car nearby I run to catch him To finally get out of here To leave this nightmare I reach my car finally The police were still there He asks if this is my car I tell him yes it is And let him know I need help As I have broken down Here on the side of the road He smiles and nods Tells me it happens a lot Right there at this spot He hands me a paper And tells me help’s on the way I smile and wave As he drives off I notice The paper that he gave me Was a ticket A dang blasted ticket!
