An Accident (Quatrain)

5th May 2009

There was an accident, on one rainy day
A truck travelling along the expressway
The driver lost control of the wheel,
And his truck hit a car on the rear

Bang! Wham! The truck overturned with its load
Spilling all its content onto the road
The cargo of eggs splattered everywhere
Much to the driver's anguish and despair

Soon, a huge jam occurred
Some people were injured
Some shouted, some assisted
Some annoyed, some frustrated

Some stopped their cars along the shoulders
Some sounded their horns to warn others
The police came to restore order
Ambulance rushed the hurts to the hospital

What if the items in the truck
Were live chickens or ducks?
What if the truck carried pigs?
It would be a massive headache

What if I were the truck driver?
It would give me a chilling shiver
Wonder how I would live that day
Wonder if it would help if I'd prayed?
