Being stuck in a traffic jam
I was shocked to see,
A sticker in the window
of a car in front of me.
It held a lurid message
Of dark and deep despair,
Ex husband locked in the boot ---
Open it if you dare!!!
I laughed a bit then paused for thought!
What if it really were true?
How do I know there's nothing there?
If I did! What would I do?
I decided I would follow her,
Then take a peek inside:
After all you don't post a note
Of what you wish to hide!
I opened the boot cautiously
And much to my surprise,
A jack-in-the-box sprung out
and hit me between the eyes.
I now know why the boots are up
In the car sales sites I pass:
It confirms no husbands are in them
Who've been poisoned, shot or gassed!!!!
