Alison is going to be late
For her train connection
Because Peter changed lane
Instead of radio channel.
They're both shaken
But will recount the tale
Over dinner with friends, tonight.
Josh's Daddy just died,
The police have announced
And the clear up will take
Several hours.
Meanwhile, diversions are in place.
His dinner will go cold.
More traffic news
At seven.
