Array ( [sid] => 64500 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Sleepy Lizard [time] => 2004-09-20 17:01:16 [hometext] => those poor sleepys...please don't run them over! [bodytext] => my four stumpy feet plod slowly
I think I can make it
across the bitty today I'll show thee

say goodbye to my family and friends
I wan't to visit my uncle
taking a risk across the road it sends

at the edge I sweat
but decide today is the day
where I have to forfil the threat

of those big loud vehicles
they go so fast
don't run me over I beleive in miracles

half way across I hear that familiar sound
what shall I do?
I'll discise myself as a mound

yeay they have passed
I'm okay
there is only a little way to go what a blast!

just over the bitty
that noise is back
some idiot swerves and hits me -gee I'm *****ty

injured and dying
forever in dried blood
I never made it to see my Uncle crying





closer now
I pray to thee
oh no I'm history!

The alligators in Louisiana have that problem when they try to cross from one swamp to another. The bigger ones just mess up the undercarriage of your auto, but it does kill the little ones. Sad.

Sad. It's truly sad have so many lives of animals are taken by automobiles. If only we could make them "animal safe" Great work

Wow, I've never actually thought about road kill and how they would feel until now. Guess it's different from that point of view isnt it?
