Splat

Those squirrels aren't born to be squealers
Once flat it’s too late for faith healers
Midway between tyres
Avoids the hell fires
Alas, there are bloody three wheelers

That brought back memories of going to work at 04.00 and although I never killed any squirrels many bunnies went to bunny heaven. I still have nightmares lol

I actually wrote this about hedgehogs, but I adapted it for the American market. (Yup... I actually googled ‘America’s most common roadkill’) Cheers, Tom. Terry
