It counts as driver's fault because of lack of bouncy boy insurance, as you suggest, Max. But if they up the insurace rate next year, I'll be swapping companies. We slowed, the roo was stationary, waited till the car drew level and he simply jumped suicidally in front of the still moving car. Nothing we could have done.

Make all the burgers you want of the beast. Just kidding. Your poem works well. Hope the cat continues to listen.
