Ode to the Harebrained [H]avelina


To the critter who hangs 'round the lake:
Do you grasp your egregious mistake?
A slight thought to prevention
(like PAYIN' ATTENTION!)
Could have skirted Bob's flooring the brake.

Take a note of that truck for a minute.
It's been battered and lashed to its limit.
Just look at that harm wrought,
You half-witted marmot!
Be thankful its driver's not in it.
