“I'm gonna wait ‘til the midnight hour,
That's when my love comes tumblin down;
I'm gonna wait ‘til the midnight hour,
When there's no one else around.”
Wilson Pickett,
In The Midnight Hour
My wife and I were headin home
From an enjoyable late evening out
Listenin to the oldies on the car radio
The road was empty, no one else about
Suddenly, a dark shadow directly ahead
It looked like a lone wolf in the moonlight
I stopped the truck and she crawled right in
My wife told her everything would be alright
We drove her back to our old backyard
And gave her some fresh water and food
She stopped trembling, after about an hour
Wrapped in a blanket, now in a better mood
At first light, I could tell she was an old dog
Later in the morning, we drove her to our vet
Thankfully, they now discovered her microchip
The very best ‘lost dog’ identification device yet
By midmorning, she was reunited with her family
Their beloved old Midnight, had wandered away
A twelve-year old beauty, who’d become very lost
We got lots of doggy kisses, before we drove away
My wife and I were headin home,
From an enjoyable late evening out;
Listenin to the oldies on the car radio,
The road was empty, no one else about.
Suddenly, a dark shadow directly ahead,
It looked like a lone wolf in the moonlight;
I stopped the truck and she crawled right in,
My wife told her everything would be alright.
