I was driving on Interstate 95 of the New Jersey Turnpike
Newark, New Jersey could be seen in plain sight
I was on my way to Baltimore, Maryland
As I was driving, I noticed the car was swerving in the front from side to side
I was wondering if I would have an accident, and where would I reside
So I slowed down, and the realized I had a tire flat in the back
Now the tire needed to be changed
However, this was a new car
So that means the car should had gone far
So here I was stuck on the New Jersey Turnpike near Bordentown
There was immediate traffic moving at night
Yet no New Jersey Patrol in plain sight
Suddenly without notice, a New Jersey Turnpike arrived swiftly on the scene
The Patrol Officer was kind, and Thank God not mean
He asked what make was my car, I responded a Mercury Marquis
The seconds became hours
Much later, a Mechanic arrived, he said the reason he was late, and he was given the wrong make and direction
Once the Mechanic was complete, I was finally on my way to my Baltimore
Destination
I arrived there safe
I had no accident
Thank God the flat tire was the only incident
