Toll Booth
Nostalgia
Ez-Pass
allows zooming without delay
a technological
thingy insures you pay
the usage fee
for turnpike or parkway
or bridge or
tunnel, you understand
the required
toll that they demand.
It’s easy!
It’s quick! Over in a blink!
As long as
you have credit you don’t have to think!
But gone are
the days when it was fun to sink
A quarter in
the basket, tossed over the car
From passenger
window, not really that far.
But
requiring timing, skill and repetition
And a driver
who slows the car with precision
And goes
along with the risky decision
To try this maneuver
which may not succeed
But then
again could be a remarkable deed.
Today with
the tolls going higher each day,
Tossing
handfuls of quarters wouldn’t work anyway.
