The newspaper listed it as a highway fatality - one dead
Another roadkill to report to the Fed
The authorities said it was a single vehicle crash
There were no tire tracks - was the driver on hash?
It was dark when the old Ford left the road
Lots of leg room, trunk could take a full load
Those big Fords man - made for cops and old men's coffins
Smokers and drinkers - a generation of coughers.
His widow said he was a good driver in his day
But lately he was letting the big V-8 stray
Did any of his relatives care?
Only the heirs.
So Detroit helps with another assisted-suicide
Choose cyanide or take your last ride...
Make room for the hybrids and small cars
Don't even think of stopping at bars.
A loyal wife gone tired
The old boy never got fired
In his days on the road, he partied hearty
Lately it was all about fiber and being farty.
The investigators suspected a medical event
May have preceded the Ford's last dent
Off to the next destination old boy
Hope you find a new toy.
