It was gonna be

a long ride

and the Lyft driver

needed to gas up her car

She apologized several times

I used my phone

to search for nearby gas station

one right along the way

before hitting I-95

It all worked out

We found the gas station

easy enough

it was a straight shot

and she fueled up the chariot

now chariot refueled

we made onto the highway

heading home

I was greatly amused

as she apologized again

It was a slight inconvenience

and a minor delay

I’d get home a few minutes later

and there was nothing good

on the Boob Tube anyway

save reruns of McFarlane toons

I greatly enjoyed the chat

and almost regretted getting home

It was a human situation

Anyone can be low on gas

She still got a 5 star rating

and a juicy tip

a rare “Above and beyond”

was allotted

Don’t give them out lightly

but this time

I felt it was earned
