Roadkill Heaven
Its time for our family vacation
A chance for peace and relaxation
So we packed up and left our abode
Heading down the local country road
Our white suv is the transportation
We will use to get to our destination
Across the state is where we're headed
Family time is fun but driving is dreaded
Playing games during this road trip
My wife distracted when the squirrel skipped
Right up under the right rear tire
My wife screamed, my daughter the crier
She pulled over quite visibly shaken
The poor squirrels life was sadly taken
My daughter kept crying more and more
The squirrels in roadkill heaven I assured her
My daughter let out the cutest smile
So I turned to my wife and said I'd drive awhile
So I made sure to drive quite cautious
But what happened next made me nauseous
It was extremely sad and not very funny
Crossing the road a cute little bunny
My daughter again with tears in her eye
I said roadkill heaven my pumpkin pie
This stressful driving I lost my nerve
A deer ran out so I had to swerve
We almost added to our roadkill tally
But thankfully we missed the deers finale
Now on the highway driving for hours
But an unfortunate event our trip it sours
Passing through a green lighted intersection
I was t-boned and added to the roadkill collection
My daughter got out with more tears in her eyes
What she said to her mom was such a surprise
Mommy, daddy apparently didn't learn his lesson
But it will be OK because he's in roadkill heaven
A chance for peace and relaxation
So we packed up and left our abode
Heading down the local country road
Our white suv is the transportation

Across the state is where we're headed
Family time is fun but driving is dreaded
