The Accident

Too many accidents on our roads,
Bring in new experts was the call, 
Money no object. 

They soon signed up Joe,
Who was not slow,
For a sum they chose not to show.

He soon had them convinced it was OK,
For anything doing under a hundred K,
On the foot path to stay. 

Soon Joe, 
Who was not slow,
Had a nice bonus he could show,
As the road toll started to slow.

But alas poor Joe, 
Who was not slow,
Had a car tyre blow.

Unfortunately for Joe,
While bending down low,
To change  the tyre that did blow,
On the footpath where traffic now did flow,
He was dealt a fatal blow,
From a walking stick, that is now on show.
