Level 2, Carpark G, Bay 121

by Walter   Mar 22, 2021


I think I lost my car but maybe it's been stolen
I'm sure I put the handbrake on, I hope that it's not rolling
Or maybe it's been towed, because illegally parked
Whatever other reason could it, disappear unmarked?

I should have paid attention, which carpark I went to
I noticed now they're lettered, because there are a few
This shopping center's huge and has so many bays
And so I'm walking with my groceries, in a total daze

I'm trying to recall and retracing all my steps
But these bags are so heavy, on my poor biceps
All I see is colours, and every car just looks the same
And of course, mine is white, like half of what remains

There's an underground carpark, but I don't think that it's there
It's always dark and dingy and there's way too many stairs
Maybe it's above ground, the carpark with a view
But even when I looked in there, I had no Deja Vu

It's starting to get late, and I hear my stomach growl
I feel like giving up and throwing in the towel
At least I have some food, within these shopping bags
And now I think I'll rest, while waving my white flag

My back is to a car as I lean it on its fender
With all my food on the bonnet, I could be a vendor
But I ate it all and had a three-course meal
And maybe my last supper, so I made it a big deal

I saw all my mess, left on the bonnet white
The least I could do is clean and be polite
While polishing away, so once again it shines
It's then I realised that this car, is in fact mine!

Dancing on the spot and also feeling great
But wanting to get home, as now it is so late
Reaching into my pocket, while I am feeling pleased
But quickly turning panic-stricken, as now I've lost my keys...
