Lisamay,
You have earned the top star from my corner of the world. A familiar problem expressed poetically and with lots of laughter tossed in for the fun of it!!! Thanks for sharing!!

Thank you so much for your lovely review. It validates my poem - I thought it was entertaining when I wrote it, but it didn't find favour in the contest voting. Humour is different for everyone, so thank you for appreciating mine.

I've entered several "contests" earlier in my tenure-- barely got a vote.
I decided to use my time here better instead of competing....
I still think your poem was fun!!!

So funny! I wondered what the final result would be of the fruitless search for your vehicle. How many times have we all been in the same situation? The bike reveal is especially humorous.

I enjoyed the read of this poem! The author's words made me smile throughout this poem. I identified with so much of it! I can never find my car - glad I have a stationery bike! The poem flows and connects well. The artwork is awesome and compliments this poem.

This is quite funny. You've included the possibility of the car being stolen, walking all the rows, and approaching the wrong car. Each line expresses the thoughts I've had on two occasions when I lost my car in a parking lot. I enjoyed the humor, and the reminder of my lost car.

I can so relate to this. It really happened to me. I called the police and after searching the car park they agreed the car was gone. Two hours later I tried the next level and found the missing car. So, it was back to the cop shop to apologise.

I have frequently forgotten which slot I parked in but since I don't go shopping on a bike I have never had quite the outcome you did. I never worried about it being stole though. No one would want to steal my 21 year old banger.
But yes you made me laugh.

I think we've all left our vehicles parked without duly noting what row it's actually in, and then panic gives us illusionary information. But this one was unexpected Jenny, not only no car, but the reality of having to cycle home, oh dementia keep away, beautifully written Jenny, a wonderful post. Well done, blessings Roy

Your rhymes are clever. I have to admit I like the standard rhyme format or 1-2, 3-4; 1-2, 3-4. I'll admit that I have had trouble finding my car once or twice, having to resort to pressing the remote several times and following the noise. I'm sorry I didn't provide proper feedback the first time. Your poem is actually pretty funny.
Regards

When I met my husband, he owned a car with a dent on one side. We'd literally find the car by the way the sunlight reflected off the dent. Our current car doesn't have that, but at least I now get my exercise searching for the car.
Your poem is so funny and so relatable. There isn't one or us who hasn't lost a car in a parking lot. Even if it's not that we came by bike and not car, it's that we're looking in an adjacent lot, or took a different car. I feel your frustration!
Your poem is bouncy and fun, and your rhymes work well. This is a very enjoyable read!
