Car vs. Tree...(ouch!)

No humor in loss of life, but if someone is going fast enough to do this to his car, he sort of deserves what he gets...that poor tree, didn't know what hit it...;)


Poem Artwork


The tree did win,

Nothing left of driver but a shin,

Passerby asked if anyone did live,

For he who asked a trophy they did give,

For being the stupidest, with a brain like a sieve…J

 

Speed can get you wrapped,

Like this car around a tree,

Excessive speed can send you directly,

To heaven as no one inside was trapped…J

 

Here is the reason that oak was used,

To build ships way back when,

Nothing can harm it, almost,

This vehicle was absolutely, definitely badly abused…J

Y I P E. Give me older cars, they held up much better. Although my (real) mom, God rest her soul, wrapped a Camaro around a tree...front end touched the back end, she'd slid on ice. Thank God, outside of a few bruises and sore muscles, she was fine. :)

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

D***! He must have been going at least 120. Everything's fiberglass these days. What do they use for frames? I have a confession, I have a passion for speed like my mama. Best I stick with the bus...

Almost unbelievable that someone could wind up like that. I hurt for those too foolish to learn.
