My poor friend

Did you see that article?

It was my friend Simon. Poor thing, he was the most clever badger I knew.
I cannot believe he met a metal death. Those nasty machines. Why don't they change the speed limits?

I am so pleased that out of respect for him those kind workmen did not paint over him. That says a lot about the human race. I am pleased and honoured to be a friend of men.
