PAD 18 I am...

I am on Empty  

I am on empty

With no gas station in sight

I wish that was one

Just off to the right

But no, it’s a carwash

So I’ll stop there right now

And I’ll contemplate

While I rub with this towel  

I am without cell phone

It's leant to a friend

I like to be someone

On one can depend

But now I’m high and dry

Just like my car
Now I’m wishing
I had OnStar

 I am walking

It’s good for my health

And that is much better

Than magnificent wealth

I spy a pay phone
But oh my gosh
I spent all my quarters
At the carwash

I am enjoying the scenery

As I trudge a long
But when I return
My car is now gone
I flag down a policeman
He found my car
Since it was on empty
It didn’t get far

I am supposed to get married

At quarter till four
But now that it’s seven
My chances are poor
Now that I made it
My bride is in tears
I hope she’ll forgive me

But it may take years

I am now married

And will be awhile
Since for better or worse
She said with a smile
Whoever stole my car
Must have been mean
But now for my honeymoon
At last it is clean
