Roadkill

Roadkill, Roadkill, lying still…
Roadkill—are you dead for real?
Roadkill, you could be my meal.
Roadkill, how your guts just spill!

A fox—cunning and ever sly
Deceitful, shady, sketchy eyes
Weren’t quick enough to spot the truck
Now that loser’s outta luck

A possum—is he playing dead?
With his body hanging by a thread
His head almost decapitated
Well, crossing streets is overrated

My deer—you were gone too soon
You jetted out at night, past noon
And the same day we saw you there
Bloodied body, broken bare
