The Good Guy I Crossed Paths with Yesterday
Sometimes, you come across
Really kind people in your day,
And yesterday, that's what
Happened to me when I
Unfortunately had to call
A tow truck, 'cause car
Wouldn't start, and I was
All the way to the IRDPQ
Some 17 Km away from home.
The tow truck that arrived
In IRDPQ's parking lot was
Absolutely gigantic, high up
To get into the cabin to sit.
The tech who showed up
Was really kind, checked the
Car out, he thinks it's the starter.
So up goes my car on the tow,
And I painstakingly manage to
Climb up the ladder stairs
With bars everywhere to hold
On to to hoist yourself up.
The tech was standing behind
Me to make sure I don't fall,
He was concerned that I don't
Hurt myself. I won't lie, it
Was not easy to get myself up
There with my condition, but
I did succeed to get in and out.
Tow tech brought me and my car
To my mechanic's garage which is
1 Km away from my home. So once
There, I texted my mechanic to explain
The situation as to why my car is on his
Lot, and I also called my douce moitié
To come get me on the electric bike,
'Cause I can't walk 1 km with my canes.
While I was on the phone, the tow tech
Came and returned my keys, and told
Me I didn't have to pay the extra Kms
Of this ride, he should have charged
Them, but he didn't make me pay them.
I'm not sure why he decided to not
Charge them to me, but that was an
Unexpected but very pleasant surprise.
So a meh moment was turned around
On its head by this kind gesture he did
For me, all of it made me feel happy,
Even though the situation was nothing
To feel happy about, 'cause more costs.
He just made the moment so much better,
And that was really nice to feel. Good guy.
