The Bendering of a Fender

Friday evening after work, this was the scene

Another vehicle assaulted mine, oh how so very mean

At first I thought maybe they were offended by my Bengal’s license plate

Ah those opposing fans, how they can be so irate

The impact sent my vehicle into the one in front of mine

All three of us sat there for a second, like a fallen domino line

Luckily nobody was hurt, no worries at all there

And nobody was angry, there was nary a swear

As we all gathered ‘round to survey our car’s damaged exteriors

We were all thankful to have relatively unharmed posteriors

There was even a laugh or two shared as we waited for the police

As the minutes passed, the shock of the wreck eventually decreased

Thank goodness none of us had an outstanding warrant
Being led away in cuffs would have been so abhorrent

The guy who hit me was extremely apologetic

I told him that accidents happen – the damage was only cosmetic

I think the lesson I learned here, and will carry with me forever

Is no more driving on Friday the 13th, never ever ever

So as we all hit the road, driving away feeling generally ok

I realized that I had been needing material for a blog post anyway :-)
