The Accident ©2018TonyFallon1118

I met you in your car one day but it was accidental

But your mother acted wild she was going mental

That is understandable she was only acting parental

But you were not supposed to drive it was only a rental

Her attitude needs adjusting because I was not at fault

The first rule we learn is at a stop sign is we should halt

When you came to the stop sign if you have stayed

There would be no accident and nobody delayed

You were not on the policy so the insurance was no good

And there was damage to your fender and to my hood

There was oil on the road and some window washing fluid

I knew at once that someone was going to be sued

I don’t know how your mother could allow you to drive

You were not yet sixteen and very lucky to be alive

You are also very lucky I sensed you weren’t going to stop

Or both my car and your mothers would be laid up in the shop

By my early braking your driver’s door wasn’t struck

And you weren’t taken away on a flatbed towing truck

Despite your father’s pleading your mother wouldn’t cease

She kept blaming me for the accident so I called the police

If I had pushed the issue you would have wound up in jail

And your parents would then have the problem of your bail

Sometimes the best intentions are subsequently penalized

Your mother hired a lawyer, and you know, I’m not surprised
