Why me? Could it be that I wasn’t paying attention? Could it be that when driving, I will attempt to hit large bodies of water in the street just to make a big splash? Actually swerve to attempt to kill road rodents?  Of course the answer is yes to all of the above. Today it was none of the above. I was minding my own business when a large limb fell from a tree that was dying if not dead. The limb that fell shattered as it hit the street and several stickes went flying everywhere – including into the path of my car.

I hit a stick, a stick I hit
Under my car, oh shit, oh shit.
Just my luck, the stick is struck
helluva racket, oh f*** oh f***.
Shan’t stop to remove the stick.
It will out, I will hit some brick.

I hit a stick, a stick I hit.
Under in my car, oh shit, oh shit.
Keep driving, ignore the noise,
develop aplomb, drive with poise.
I struck a stick, it was a curse.
It will out. I will drive in reverse.

I hit a stick, a stick I hit.
Under in my car, oh shit, oh shit.
Loving the looks, feeling absurd
It will out: must drive backward.
I floored said car, now in reverse,
oh f***, oh f***, I made it worse.

I hit a stick, a stick I hit.
Under in my car, oh shit, oh shit.
Keep on going, hope it’s no worse,
Dangerous, methinks, next ride: hearse?
New idea: aim for the rocks
Shall remain calm, not be out foxed.

I hit a stick, a stick I hit.
Under in my car, oh shit, oh shit.
Thunder, clatter, boom, boom, boom
then quiet like the tents of desert Khartoum.
I hit a stick, the stick is unstuck
Never left the car, yuk, yuk, yuk!
