Going To The Dogs
.
Three Three Four Norm
Meggitt, Wagon C-Six Eight,
Had a date with destiny,
and now has met his fate.
Driving west on Terminal,
and stopping at Quebec,
When suddenly his wagon,
was involved in quite a wreck.
.
Norm was stopped and
waiting for, the light to change from red,
When a mighty jolt behind
him, caused Norm to hit his head.
He got out of his wagon,
and walked towards the rear,
Stomped towards the
other truck, whose driver shook in fear.
.
Let me see your licence,
growled Norman with a huff,
The other driver looked
at him, and just responded "Ruff".
Don't give me any back
talk, said Norman getting mad,
Just let me see your
licence, and he reached into the cab.
.
Still not hearing any
answer, he took a closer peek,
And wondered why the
driver here, still refused to speak.
The driver turned and
looked at him, with a black and hairy face,
Then suddenly, Norm
shuddered, and his heart began to race.
.
He let out with a mighty
gasp, then stepped back in the street,
The driver jumped down
from the truck, and landed on four feet.
He trotted to a hydrant,
and then lifted up a limb,
And dampened down the
fireplug, with Norman watching him.
.
For the driver of this
GMC, who hit Norman from behind,
Was a member of the
Canine race, the German Shepard kind.
Now why the dog was
driving, this battered Chevy truck,
Involved in such an
MVA, well that's just Norman's kind of luck.
