The Poet's Parking Ticket Defense

A poet received a parking ticket and decided to appeal it in verse. He submitted a fourteen-line sonnet arguing that his car, like all matter, exists in a state of perpetual motion through spacetime, and therefore was never truly 'parked.' The judge, a former English major, denied the appeal but reduced the fine—citing 'adequate use of iambic pentameter but weak volta in the third quatrain.'
