Pickle on the Road

When walking along on the road,

An object appeared, so I slowed.

It was probably tossed

From a car that had crossed;

The surprise on my face must have showed.


‘Twas a pickle, a deli-type spear,

Maybe packed with a sandwich? Unclear.

Crisp and green, its appeal

Would add much to a meal 

Of a passing black bear or a deer.


Still, the person who flung it outside 

Didn’t mean for a snack to provide.

He was likely a smug

Type of littering bug,

Maybe pickled himself, for the ride.
