Inspired by this thread under the line, this just popped out. Unlike the poor SUV.

A Driver' Lament
ttto: "A Mother's Lament" (trad)
by: Gary Ehrlich, © 3/2006

A driver was parking his Hummer one day,
The largest of cars, in a terrible way.
The roadway was poor and the asphalt was thin,
'Twas much like a skellington covered with skin.
The driver turned 'round for a meter to pack
He was only a moment but when he turned back
His Hummer had gone, and in anguish he cried,
"Oh, where has my Hummer gone?" The angels replied:
Oh, your Hummer has gone down the sinkhole.
Oh, your Hummer has sunk through the street.
The poor SUV was so heavy and large,
He should have been parked on a field of concrete.
Your Hummer is perfectly happy;
It won't waste our gas anymore.
It's a-ridin' about with the devils below,
And it won't waste our gas anymore.
