To drive a car along the road at night:
A task necessitating utmost care.
Ahead – a deer transfixéd in the light
O slave! why canst thou flee from there?
But soft! what beast on yonder windshield breaks?
The hapless buck, now lifeless in the road
-A grinding noise – the engine whines and shakes
The wheels doth screech, but movement is not slowed
The tires slippeth on the spilléd blood
A passing stranger calleth Triple-A
The carriage is now stucketh in the mud
When will the blesséd tow-truck save the day?
And since the clock has missed the hour for lunch,
Upon this venison I’ll have to munch.
