THIS IS NOT AN ABANDONED VEHICLE

I got a job as a postman

Delivering monarch embossed packages

After shakingly waking rude people at two pm

It was not the done thing

to take a van home

but we drivers did

as the managers had done

Before us

So it happened

When you needed to sneak off to the beach

Or do a spot of shopping

The thing with a Royal Mail trucklet is that they are

Parkable anywhere

Even on the double yellows

We were safe

Police would sometimes commandeer us for this hi vis purpose

And like-minded criminals in their surveillance

So why not ?

I took to using the technique with my own car

And had a sign made that red

And yellow in its liveried elegance

Explained that this

Is not an abandoned vehicle

But rather the Real Mail on official business

And would leave it wherever I ended up 

After that night's rumbunctions

Of course some just cannot read

Present company excepted

As you are here

After all

I still got towed
