Ode to Roadkill
Jack Splatt will eat no more fat
His wife will eat no more lean
The trucker’s wheels came down the road
And they ran in between
Jack Splatt will eat no more fat
His wife will eat no more lean
The trucker’s wheels came down the road
And they ran in between
The maize was mangled with a spanner
The sorghum strangled with a banner
The rice was run down in the city
The barley bludgeoned without pity
Hugh Jamount said, “Not enough!”
I have to have a lot more stuff
I will be satisfied,” he swore
“When I have just a li’l bit more…”
The judge espied the lenses standing blinking in the dock
“The scope of your short-sighted acts caused grief and tears and shock
I have to make a spectacle of you,” M’Lud proclaimed
“It wasn’t us,” the lenses cried, “Your Honour, we were framed!”
Mr. Grabett was a rabbit
With a terribly bad habit
He was always being nice to lady bunnies
Mrs. G. voiced her objectio
Bridget the midget while drunk had a dream
While plastered she plotted and stewed on a scheme
She looks up at tall people sneering a sneer
All day and all week and all month and all year
