The Parking Officer

He looks full of arrogance and self conceit
The parking inspector as he struts down the street
His little power a boost to his ego and his self esteem
Some people are easy to please it would seem.

For one parked illegally a parking ticket he write
And he slips it under the front right windshield wiper with a grin of delight
When the owner a he or a she returns to their car for them an unpleasant surprise
Sometimes it does cost people money just to become a little more wise.

For the person who received the parking ticket the parking officer one thought does not spare
If the car owner had to borrow money to buy petrol or happened to be a millionaire
He only thinks of his own promotion if he has caused someone hardship he does not seem to care
One of limited power with a very big ego and his type have never been rare.

He walks the street the parking officer with a self satisfied smirk on his face
One with limited power with a huge ego he strives for a higher social place
Of what many motorists do feel about him he think their own conclusions they can draw
He feels happy today he wrote a score of parking tickets this arrogant tiny limb of the Law.
