Comment from Cecilia A Heiskary

Excellent

This is a great humorous 5-7-5 poem. I like that the two worked on the parking meter with out even trying while the other one invented the wheel.

Well done and good luck in the contest

Thank you, Cecilia. I struggled with this one a lot. It just didn't seem quite right, so I made a few changes. Hopefully, it wouldn't alter your rating. I really appreciate your kind words and good luck wish.

You're welcome and your changes won't affect my rating.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems

Excellent

I understood the first two lines, but not the third. Maybe: "to welcome the coin"
I enjoyed the humour and parking metres have been a curse and a blessing, love Dolly x x x

Thank you, Dolly. You're absolutely right! That third line made no sense. I took another stab at it and hopefully, it's a little clearer. I really appreciate your constructive comments and assistance.

Your new line makes a lot more sense and you did a great job here with this edit x x x x

Thanks, Dolly. I still wasn't satisfied so I made a few more changes. Hopefully, the third time's the charm.
