THE VESPA HAIKU

Echad

The Meter Maid’s scowl,
Can’t ticket my blue Vespa
Parked on the sidewalk

Dua

Crosswalk up ahead
The Meter Maid will not run
And the brakes are shot

Trois

When I ride on by,
Meter Maids curse the heavens
The gods do not hear

Quatro

“I’ll get you some day!”
Screams the crazy Meter Maid
At the handlebars

Beauty-eh!

Hopping on the seat,
The Meter Maid begs a ride
Darn! I’m out of gas
