This one line about hubris enters my thoughts unprovoked, an internal reproach, on occasion:

--------

He saw a puddle and he tried to swerve--

Into the mud rolled the big fat truck,

and his big important wheels got STUCK

Even then, his heavy duty dump truck tires were stuck down deep in muck and mire.
