I stopped off at the market,
To buy some watermelons,
Then as I was leaving, it
Was struck by fleeing felons!

Some thieves had robbed a building,
And were escaping from the lot —�
They bumped my Dodge while passing,
And the watermelons shot!

Melon-damage accidents
Are the oddest of them all,
Bending panels into dents
The size of a basketball!

A wrecker came to tow my Dodge,
Past the many startled faces,
It brought us to the 'Last Chance Garage,'
Where, "They're good at melon cases."

"Odd damage that results from quirk,"
Said he, "Is redeemed at that garage.
But, Pal, it's such expensive work,
To de-herniate a Dodge!"
