'toe' Truck

I was following a speeding ambulance down the street the other day,

When it took a sharp corner and the back door flew open all the way!

A large Styrofoam box fell out and I screeched to a halt to peer inside.

What I found was so loathsome that my amazement I could not hide!

Nestling in packed ice and peering back at me was a human toe!

I reckoned it was being taken to a hapless chap on which to re-sew!

As a result of this very grave incident the only thing I knew to do,

Was summon a 'tow' truck!  I think you would've done the same thing too!

Bloody hell Robert! I'm still chuckling as I write over this poem. I have a friend who twists the meaning of words and keeps me grinning... the English language has so many similar sounding words with entirely different meanings. Thanks again Robert - Lindsay
