Job Satisfaction

by Mark Rawlins   Mar 6, 2015


Stan's a man in uniform,
a man with real power,
and he gets a special bonus
for ten cars in an hour.

This morning on the corner,
whilst the Costa Coffee crowd,
sip their cappuccinos,
being very loud,
Stanley spies a welcome sight
that makes his cold heart race,
so he forgets about the icy wind
that's slapping at his face ....
A tempting row of vehicles,
all have parked illegal.
Stan prepares to swoop on them,
just like a preying eagle.

Stan's a man in uniform,
a man with real power,
and he gets a special bonus
for ten cars in an hour.

The teasing, minxing Mini,
and the pertly pouting Porche,
make Stanley snatch his ticket pad
to inflict another torture.
He licks his lustful lips
at the lovely lucious Lada.
No-one said his job was easy,
but something just got harder!
He ignores the pleading scribbled note,
saying 'back in just a jiffy'.
The sound of ticket slapping glass
gives Stanley quite a stiffy.

Stan's a man in uniform,
a man with real power,
and he gets a special bonus
for ten cars in an hour.

The white van man is angry,
as he rushes out the shop.
'I've only been here a minute.
There was nowhere else to stop!'
'You shouldn't park here anytime.
Read the sign or pay the fine!
You get on with your job,
and I'll get on with mine!'

Stan's a man in uniform,
a man with real power,
and he gets a special bonus
for ten cars in an hour.
