Out-of-State Plates

I check the license plates of cars

Parked all around my block,

Which proves that to New York

So many people still do flock.

 

Here’s Arizona, Massachusetts,

California, too.

Of course, there’s Pennsylvania

And New Jersey, passing through.

 

Surprisingly, there’s Kansas,

Also Carolina (North).

I wonder why these people

From their native states set forth.

 

It’s hard to find a parking place

(For on the street, it’s free),

Especially when out-of-towners

Grab a spot from me!
