Car Trouble
A giant tree came crashing down
And crushed a local car.
The owner may not know it –
He has not shown up so far.
His car was safely parked (he thought);
The spot, when he did pick it,
Is legal up ‘til Tuesday when
He’ll likely get a ticket.
I wonder what the cops will do
With summons time impending.
Place ticket on the windshield (smashed)
As if they are pretending…
That nothing’s wrong? If that occurs
That driver needs some pity –
A fallen tree, a bashed up car
And money owed the city!
