Husband's Lament

(Accident on the ice)

HUSBAND'S LAMENT
I think that I just didn't see...
The tree that jumped in front of me.
It's wounded form tho' left to stand
Has left its mark upon my van!
One thing is a certain bet -
Both were happier before they met!
The van is now on the mend,
But the tree still shudders
When I drive 'round that bend!
