I don’t like running over animals
Even if already dead
Yesterday I swerved to avoid one
And then hit a live one instead!
The child sitting with me was crying.
The dog in the back not yet fed.
And whilst the poor little rabbit lay dying,
Temptation popped into my head.
I could tell the small child he was sleeping
And that we’d go and put him to bed
And though technically I know that it’s cheating,
The dog could eat Rabbit al la tread!
