Battleground

 

Battleground

 

Where are the attendants

To take our money,

Check our tickets,

So dependent!

A quick check in

Seeing how long we've been?

 

The pay and display

From yesterday

Where we shared the fee

With another person

Like me!

 

Look at how long we stayed,

But now today

Getting very techy

Now it's all gone techie

The car park now a battleground

And I've found

Trying to Remember the car plate

Gets me in a state!

 

And the metal thing

Don't take cash

Come up in a rash

And in a hurried dash.

But in a flash

My credit is debit.

Feeling decrepit.

 

And this metal of tech

Has no respect!

Got five minutes - 

That's the limit,

Have to sprint

To find the car

Wherever it is!

And the mean machine

Is out of print

No confirmation 

Just so much frustration!
