on failure to yield the right of way,
it landed in a mini-van back,
in little Forest Bruster’s lap.
Young Forest,
poor boy,
was so alone,
hid it from his parents
and took it home.
Now he and Becky’s head do chat
and laugh and make merry at
her new collection of ladies hats.
Meanwhile,
Becky’s body is behind the wheel,
a sightless driver the tires squeal,
as it searches for its missing head
that now sleeps by Forest, in his bed.
