It was a case tailor-fit for the paparazzi—
a media monger frenzy or
maybe just a different
take on A day in the life.
A traffic jam in the Jersey
turnpike’s tunnel: It seems a truck
carrying habitrail for local
hamsters (as well as for other
less vilified vermin) tipped on
its end—or slipped its pin—
does it matter?
The thing jack-knifed (like a wishbone)
and the passage choked with
daily travailers, travellers, traversers and truly,
one transvestite. Though, no transsexuals or
tramps were counted among them.
You heard it here first: Ten commuters
have died of exposure to carbon monoxide
or MTBE or perhaps just of sheer
benignity in a human habitrail.

Yes indeed this certainly requires an "Interesting" comment.
Interesting. Like the music references. I've always wondered at the majesty of the "New Jersey turnpike"

very clever piece of writing - loved the third verse, especially "Though, no transsexuals or tramps were counted among them." I'm not sure if it was supposed to be slightly humourous or not but I certainly enjoyed reading it - suppose taking ones own interpretation is the point anyway.
nice one
