Who's to Blame?

It wasn’t the crows

who sat there in rows

to visit the roadkill du jour –

And it wasn’t the scream

or the nightmarish dream

that quickly turned into a blur –

It wasn’t the spark

from the filter-tipped Lark

that caused the driver to stir –

It may have been that

when the tire went flat

he awoke with a POP, Hiss and Swerved -

They found he was dead

at the end of the tread

where everything came to a halt -

It wasn't the crows

who sat there in rows

it just wasn't anyone's fault.
