A Short Drive

A couple of 'roos A joey standing forlorn by it's unmoving mother A few wallabies A brick of a wombat An Echidna A heap of budgies A raven Some pretty green grass parrots Cockies and galahs A baby magpie A snake Some frogs Someone's cat A stray dog All broken Squashed flat Mangled Bloated Instant death or slow painful bleeding out In agony All those battered bodies The sadness of it all The need for speed Creating this meaningless road toll And no-one seems to care
