A: a domestic animal that is wandering at large or is lost;
B: a person or thing that strays from the correct path.
Merriam Webster’s Dictionary
Yet another sad telephone call
About yet one more, starving stray
We have failed miserably, as stewards
We’ve strayed far from the right path today
This one had been wandering a parking lot
At a stadium, housing a major league team
Not one man, woman, or child, in attendance
Gave one thought to his woeful plight it seems
I am sadly guessing that this dog, was dumped here
By an uncaring owner, who thought others would care
But thousands of baseball lovers, simply ignored this dog
After the game was over and they all left, he was still there
“This dog was seen following after numerous people in that lot;
They all ignored his very presence, or they shooed him away.”
And now, he has wandered off, filled with loneliness and pain
As I search for him, I sadly wonder, what’s wrong with us, today
Yet another sad telephone call,
About yet one more, starving stray;
We have failed miserably as stewards,
We’ve strayed far from the right path today.
