Speed Trap #63

Day after day
I see him just sitting
on my way to and from work.
Alone he sets.
Just awaiting the next jerk.

I just know, it won’t be me
you see,
I did it
But,
 no judge will ever 
get me to admit it

The trick you see
is to stay within the speed limit
No-one can get to far
Under their sophisticated radar
So when the limit is 50
I simply, do forty-nine
Just sit back and take my time
Let the music ease my mind
When the limit is fifty-five
I simply do fifty-four
Who really needs more,

Besides who can afford the fine
so, since you won’t get me this time
why don’t you take your ticket, 
and I guess you know where to stick it . . .
