A Note In the Wind

l saw a note in the wind 
caught up in the fencing 
could it possibly be...? 
was it what I was sensing?

determined to have it 
I gazed up admiringly 
it was out of my reach 
fluttering enticingly

I spied a big number too! 
I was feeling quite heady 
my mind was in overdrive 
I had spent it already 

so it pains me to say
I was terribly mistaken 
instead of cash I retrieved 
a parking citation

Rats! Pure hope dashed! Wonderful build up to your conclusion. Hope the ticket wasn't too expensive! All the best especially for a good, unticketed parking place!
