DON\u2019T MENTION METERS<\/strong>
\nThe meters are settled.
\nIt’s no longer news.
\nWe’ve listened to countless
\nhours of views.
\nWe’ve settled for less,
\nwhen we coulda got more.
\nNow, talk about taxis
\nis really a bore.
\nLets talk about anything
\nother than meters.
\nLet’s talk about summer
\nand crazy eyed skeeters;
\nOr, hot dogs roasting
\non open pit fires.
\nBut, please do not talk about
\nworn out bald tires.
\nLet’s get away from
\nthis tireless talk.
\nInstead of posting,
\njust go for a walk.
\nAnd, if you find, you
\nhave walked way too far,
\nCall: 607-1020
\nI will send you a car.
\nHAPPY SUMMER!<\/p>\n
