Fast Food

On the road today, I saw
A dead frog and a snake.
Both were squished, most likely
By a car and by mistake.


Last week it was a squirrel
Squashed and lifeless on the street.
It's Nature's way of giving crows
And vultures what to eat.


I guess the animals that live
Where humans choose to dwell
Don't realize when they cross the road
It's oft their last farewell.


And we drive on, oblivious
To what's beneath our wheels.
The scavengers are grateful, though,
For all the tasty meals.
