What’s stopping the car?!
Hope it won’t get too far.
The parking brakes not on,
That’s what’s wrong!
You tried to pull it up
Without any luck,
And now it will roll
As far as the pole,
Which will act as a brake
In the moment it takes
For it to roll down the hill;
The movement will be still.
And you watch in disbelief,
And try to hold your grief,
As the car is munched
With quite a loud CRUNCH!
But no need to worry,
You just need to say “Sorry”,
Because this circumstance
Is covered by insurance.
