Road Kill
by David R SpellmanCruisin’ down the road, headed east
My mind on the driving, just the least
Darting in front, my speed I decreased
Too late it seems, my tire it creased
The critter’s life, shortened and ceased
Put me in a state, so terribly uneased
“Waste not, want not” my only release
Hurried home, avoiding the police
Arriving there, my joy greatly increased
Its still warm body, I eagerly seized
To my delight it was already greased
Into the pan, quartered and pieced
After of course, cleaned and de-fleeced
I basted and turned and roasted the beast
Adding garlic and spice, me quite the artiste
Prepared a fine meal from the newly deceased
Giving You thanks, before beginning my feast
Praying some more that it was not diseased
Meager leftovers, to the birds I bequeathed
My repast eaten and hunger appeased
Sat back in comfort, relaxed and eased
Picking some fur from between my teeth
Next time, dear Lord, I did beseech
Instead of squirrel, would ya’ consider geese?
