poetry and car crashes

well, maybe not actual crashes... near misses would be a more appropriate term for the situation. but here's my burning question of the day: do any of you ever have poetry (silly, serious, or otherwise) explode like a cist in your mind so that you can do nothing else but write it down right then and there?

that happened to me today. unfortunately, i was driving at the time. picture me, if you will, driving down ash frantically scribbling on old receipts and trying not to crash into parked cars. yes, i realize it's dangerous.

the clincher is that it was definitely a very silly poem about suicidal squirrels and vehicular homicide. it wasn't even deep and meaningful.
