Nun of That, Now
Turning right against the light’s
Illegal in New Yawk.
That rule’s observed by drivers,
Not by those who run or walk.
In other places, no such law
Exists, so often plates
Of cars which turn when they should not
Reflect their different states.
And that is why I was surprised
When, right in front of me,
A New York car ignored the red
And turned illegally.
What made it even weirder
Was the driver was a nun!
If ticketed, I wonder ‘bout
The story she’d have spun.
