I thought I was safe late at night,
but that delusion was quickly dispelled:
the public radio station’s beg-a-thon
continued even after midnight
September 21, 2022
They were too lazy or stupid
to park their truck and trailer
on the correct side of the street
But they still got hired for the job
because the work didn’t require
the drive or intelligence to do so
