The parking lot is packed

At small hot donut shop

From laundromat window

I watch folk's morning hop

They need their morning fix

Of sugar and some wheat

All the different flavors

Hot donuts can't be beat

Cars lined out on the street

Wait for drive-thru to creep

Folks exit from the shop

Boxes piled in a heap

Then I notice something

I did not see before

Drivers stop their creep

Let space create a door

Now folks who parked their car

Can leave their parking spot

Kindness for another

A spark to my day's lot

Later I discovered

It's 'Buy one get one day'

Why folks were so patient

Good feelings were in play
