A woman dodged a parking fine after writing a poem about needing a poo.
Woman dodges parking fine with poo poem
A driver from Salisbury was loading up her car with baked goods to sell at a local horse show when she found herself unfortunately overcome with an upset stomach, and ran to the toilet.
Jayne Parsons returned to discover she was parked on double yellow lines and had a parking ticket.
The 53-year-old came up with the idea of writing a poem to the council, to explain what had happened and hopefully dodge the fine.
The poem included the lines: ''I get a nervous tum / For the toilet I had to run /And with not a moment to lose /I made it indoors to release my poos!''
The council responded with their own rhyming note, which said: ''It's difficult to know the truth/ And quite often we would ask for proof/But the photographs the officer has taken/Shows that indeed, you had been baking/ So on this occasion we are pleased to say/The council accept your appeal, you do not have to pay.''
