Moonlighters

 

As I stood puzzling over my overheated car

Just south of the Toms River toll plaza on the Parkway

"Check" Hauck pulled up and asked if he could help  

 

He peeked and poked and finally recommended that I stop

At the nearest auto store and get some hose clamps

So that my coolant hose could be clamped open  

 

Diligently heeding his edict

I entered the first auto store I came across  

 

I chanced to pass a frisbee display

Including some glow‑in‑the‑dark frisbees  

 

I'd always meant to get some yet never had

So I decided to get two  

 

That was a Saturday afternoon  

 

It was well into the week before I saw Harry Sepp

The person whose glow‑in‑the‑dark frisbees I'd played with in the past  

He came over

And then we went to his house  

 

When I got in his car to go to his house

I whipped out one of my still‑in‑the‑wrapper glow‑in‑the‑dark frisbees  

Showing moderate surprise

Harry reached in the backseat and pulled out

A still‑in‑the‑wrapper glow‑in‑the‑dark frisbee  

 

Hmmm...I told him I had another home  

 

When we got to his house Harry went in his room for a minute

And when he came out he was holding another

Still‑in‑the‑wrapper glow‑in‑the‑dark frisbee  

 

He didn't mind if I asked when he had gotten his pair  

 

The past Saturday afternoon, he informed me
