Hungry Parking Meter

Rushing Not To Pay?

The parking meter said to me,
"I'm down to my last dime.
The people come, the people park
but they don't have the time.
I hear them as they walk away,
"I haven't time to waste."
And so it is, as I grow thin
they walk away in haste."

And so it is, another hungry parking meter tells me his sad story and the sad saga continues to be told. What? You were expecting a happy ending? Who said anything about an ending?

Smarter Parking Meters Learn Second Language

Parking Meters On Java

"I'm anxious," the young meter said,
"I've not got time to wait
perched atop this stupid pole,
the parkers, always late.
That empty space, I cannot stand,
there should be cars to fill it.
I've got a boss like everyone
and he wants me to bill it."

And so it is, parking meters get smarter and Java becomes the language they speak but to me they speak American and I publish their Parking Meter Poetry for all the world to see.

Evil Traffic Camera

Even parking meters hate traffic cameras. But at least it has a happy ending.

Evil Parking Meters?

Please don't call me evil
for I'm only doing my part.
I don't control the fee.
I don't control the art.
I'm just a parking meter
bound to stand here 'till I die.
And if you cast me evil
the backlash makes me cry.

And that wraps up tonight's edition of PMN, Parking Meter News.
