'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! Robert L.

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
