The cab on the pick up truck
blew off on the Interstate.
Clothes & other crap
was blown all over
the highway.
A lengthy traffic jam ensued
as every moron
and his brother
felt the need to slow down
and gawk at this poor woman
frantically trying
to recapture her possessions
littered about the road.
I felt bad for her
as she had enough problems
without being a spectacle
for everyone else’s amusement.
The least we can do
is maybe charge a fee.
Every idiot that slows down
or stops to gawk
should be fined.
The money collected
can go to the victim
as a cash retainer
for the entertainment provided.
sensitive and powerful
your sensitive and graphic poem is very powerful
thanks. It is terrible the
thanks. It is terrible the way we respond to other folks misfortune.
