Ode to the traffic light

<img width="100" height="120" align="left" src="http://www.baltimorespokes.org/images/articles/20051129070314645_1.jpg" alt="">There once was a guy on a bike
who stopped at the local red light.
The light never turned
but the Law he can't spurn,
so he sits there to this very night
