"I Hit a Bird"

On my way home I hit a bird,
It made the strangest sound I'd ever heard.

It raced in front as if it were drunk
And bounced off my windshield with a muted *THUNK!*

A flash of yellow and a dash of black
Was turned to red and ain't coming back.

Before my car he tried to soar,
But the friendly skies he will fly no more.

For stupid birds should look both ways
Before crossing a highway in a misty haze.
