“As we go down life's lonesome highway
Seems the hardest thing to do is to find a friend or two,
A helping hand - Someone who understands,
That when you feel you've lost your way,
You've got someone there to say I'll help you.”
Lionel Ritchie,
Say You, Say Me
Morning Rush Hour
On A Busy Highway
He’s Lost and All Alone
Will He Survive This Day
And Very Soon, The Chase Has Begun
By Some Compassionate State Troopers
They All Try Very Hard, To Capture Him
But He’s Frightened, Through and Through
Several Miles Down This Busy Highway
This Little Lost Soul Takes The ‘Off Ramp’
Here, Several Caring Souls Try To Catch Him
Despite Their Compassionate Efforts, They Can’t
He Has Now Journeyed Over Seven Miles In 100 Degree Heat
He Eventually Takes Refuge In Some Tall Grass By The Road
A Very Determined Young Man, Finally Corrals This Lost Soul
Everyone Is Now Joyous, On The News, His Story Soon Unfolds
He Is Now Exhausted, Dehydrated, And One Of His Paws Is Bleeding
So I Pick Him Up, He’s Too Tired To Protest, And We Are On Our Way
I Carry Him To My Truck, And Then Transport Him To My Vet’s Office
Where Lucky Little ‘Rags’ Is On The Road To A Much Better Life Today
Morning Rush Hour
On A Busy Highway
He Is Lost and All Alone
But He Did Survive This Day
Thanks To Many Caring People
This Little Lost Soul, Is Now Safe
No Longer Lost, Alone, Or Afraid
