Subject: RE: songs about road kill
You could add 'A hundred and forty pounds of Highwayman' to the list (Alfred Noyes's poem set by Andy Irvine). I think the chap doesn't sound very muscular - not with wrinkle-free skin-tight trousers and a bundle of lace at his throat - so, like a professional musician, he probably couldn't feed a family of four.
