Parking Metres
TO A_ PROSPECTIVE HOST OEP man, I simply phoned to say, Since we are long and time is flitting, We are as good as on. our wayD.V. and Mrs. V. permitting. Perhaps you also stand and wait With patience of a Casanova, Or maybe not-at any rate, It's good of you to ask us over. The speech of welcome you have planned By now no doubt is adjectival. I'd like you, though, to understand This habit of delayed arrival Is not acquired, Believe me, pal, Others in that have well outshone me. Nor was I born unpunctualI’ve just had lateness thrust upon me.
