A slight miscalculation,
Wound me up in traffic court,
For speeding violation.
The judge was a decent sort.

Ten hours now in service,
To the fair community.
Spent raking leaves for justice,
And some pulling up of weeds.

The penalty's not so bad,
At least the weather's decent.
Not cold and rain like we had,
In days just past of recent.

The fresh air and the sunshine,
Will probably do me good.
And excersise, well spent time,
In activity as I should.

Now all that's left to deal with,
Is the court costs, then it's done.
A lesson learned has been this,
Driving slower from now on...
