HONDA ON THE ROOF

Way above my head, I see the strangest sight:
That Honda on the roof--it wasn't there last night!
It's painted a bright pink, with question marks in sight.
Whoever got it there was surely very bright.

What does it mean, this Honda on the roof,
Up there without an engine, not a single wheel?
Who would have picked so curious a place
To park a pink automobile?

A weakly built rooftop would not sustain the weight.
But when the car went up, the roof--it held up great!
Whatever you might say, this odd, outlandish car,
Got famous overnight not moving very far!

Pink Honda on the roof,
A most unlikely sight,
It might not mean a thing,
But then again it might....

A pink Honda on a roof--sounds crazy, no?

But in Plainview-Old Bethpage, you might say every school has a Honda on the roof, somehow staying in place without rolling off or plummeting into a classroom.

It isn't easy to park a Honda on a roof. So you may ask: Why park a Honda on a roof if it's so difficult?

You park a Honda on the roof because there's a space available.

And just how do you park a Honda on a roof?

That I can tell you in one word: chutzpah!
