Pavement Predator

He’s an ugly monster,

Or maybe it’s a she.

In this darkness,

Really hard to see.

 

Its life came from the rain,

Freezing temperatures.

Cannot predict its birth.

Not really sure when.

 

So, if I had eyes,

In the back of my head.

I’d gone a different way,

Away from here instead.

 

But, it is too late.

I’ve traveled way too far.

A big honking pothole,

Just devoured my car.

 

But, hold on, wait a minute,

It could have been worse,

I landed on another car,

Guy inside gave me a boost.

 

I promised to call the tow truck,

So he could be towed out,

Next time be more aware,

And, take a different route.

 

Because you’ll not know when,

You’ll fall in its grip,

Just a freak of the season,

Keep your eyes out for it.
