I came to work one day and the receptionist teased I had “stolen” her parking spot. So I wrote this (while watching the pool, of course!) in reply, although I didn’t get to read it to her or anything. It was all in good fun. :)

Apology for a Parking Spot

Copyright © 1998

From the most profound depths of my soul,
I offer my humble apology,
for having occupied… your parking spot.
Oh, how could I have been so blind?
Your godly aura surrounds the place,
glowing with holy light!

Then I, a miserable worm beside you,
came and defiled it with my wretched conveyance!
Woe! Woe! I shall be cursed for eternity!
Forgive me, I beg you,
lest my soul be tormented ’till the end of time!
