This reminds me of a poem on the occasion when New York City increased the
fine for double-parking.

POME

This latest auto da fe
Means more cash that we'll have to pay
It won't cause a ripple
'Cause now we'll park tripple
In chassis to chassis array!!

I'm entitled to do a little boasting
You've all heard of alt.support.crossposting
It was I who created that wonderful group
I'm the King of crossposters, and that's no poop!
