Yesterday when writing about Monastic Slowing Down I mentioned how I saw a garbage truck with snow plow in front and salt dispenser in back speeding up my block. Today writing neighbors about suggestions to slow down speeding traffic on our stretch of road I turned this experience into a little Christmas ditty. Here it is:
‘Twas Sunday, day of the first major snowfall
All through the house was quiet
When out on the street there was such a clatter,
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a large yellow garbage truck flying by
I knew in a moment it was plow truck
Speeding up on Wells St. with a salt dispenser on back
There was no time to test its speed way above 50
But I drew a deep breath and was glad it was not a school day.
