If I See Something in a Ditch

If I see something in the ditch
I have to stop the car
and pull it out
sometimes it’s a toilet, a broken lamp, a desk, part of a chair

I especially have to pull it out
if I do not know what it is
I make a cat’s curiosity seem sporadic

we can find room for this, I tell my husband
he is disgusted
What is it?
Luckily, I am a quick liar
because I often do not know
