Three Legged Table

Wow! I saw it there 
Next to the road side 
On top of some junk
Some flytipper had flyed 

I screeched to a stop
On a dangerous bend 
Crying 'I saw it first!' 
At my passenger friend 

Only slightly bitter 
She stomped from the Rav 
And claimed the prize 
I was desperate to have 

A three legged table 
Was shoved in the door 
Not meant for three legs.... 
Twas s'posed to have four 

She laughed like a drain
As I was cut down to size 
Left feeling deflated 
At my rubbishy prize
