One of mine from years ago:
Because I could not stop for gas
My empty tank stopped me.
The lane was blocked and people cursed
Me in my SUV.
I could not drive, despite my haste,
Though people honked at me
And called me "schmuck" and other words
Of incivility.
Since then it feels like centuries
I've sat here in my car.
Next time I will top off my tank,
Though I'm not going far.
