Forgot to move the car in time –
In New York, that’s not cricket;
But I was blown away to find
I didn’t get a ticket.
The sign said that you couldn’t park
Beginning nine o’clock.
At ten, I raced right over
And received my welcome shock.
A fellow driver saw my face
And he knew my snafu.
He shook his head and said,
“Somebody’s watching over you.”
As soon as I got in the car,
The ticket lady came.
Just one more minute later,
I’d have just myself to blame.
I thank the stars above that I
Avoided getting nailed;
But I don’t think somebody watching
Is why I prevailed.
No matter what the reason,
Be it shallow or profound,
If somebody is watching,
Then I hope he sticks around!
