Wait No More

With horses revving under the hood,
speed cameras will not treat me good,
and the copper said ‘hey,
for you I waited all day’ ...
well I got there as quick as I could.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 6/1/2019 1:45:00 PM In reply to what you told me down here. NOTHING has ever gotten me off from having tickets. Even when I am sweet as can be with the cops! Login to Reply Lindsay Laurie Date: 6/6/2019 8:11:00 PM Hello Andrea … I guess they've been warned about writing so many tickets each day, and if every excuse was believed, not many tickets would be written. Good luck next time Andrea - Lindsay
