A Prayer For Inflated Tires

George won’t be happy
if he starts his day observing a flat tire.
There is an alternative.
He could begin the day accepting guilt and punishment.
It doesn’t matter that his crime is unknown.
He accepts the idea that his car may have a flat tire,
and prays that today he might not have a flat tire.
His unknown offense subsumed by his prayer.
George lives on a nice quiet street,
where vandalism is not an everyday occurrence.
Of course, the nail might have been embedded elsewhere.
He walks to his car and finds four fully inflated tires.
Today George’s plea must have been accepted.
He is elated and pledges to make a donation.
This marks the 625th successive no-flat tire day.
George has yet to made his first donation.

No matter, it is another glorious day!
