[Simpleman]

A drunk man in an Oldsmobile
>>>>>>>>>>>They said had run the light
>>>>>>>>>>>That caused the six-car pileup
>>>>>>>>>>>On 109 that night.
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>When broken bodies lay about
>>>>>>>>>>>And blood was everywhere,
>>>>>>>>>>>The sirens screamed out eulogies,
>>>>>>>>>>>For death was in the air.
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>A mother, trapped inside her car,
>>>>>>>>>>>Was heard above the noise;
>>>>>>>>>>>Her plaintive plea near split the air:
>>>>>>>>>>>"Oh, God, please spare my boys!"
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>She fought to loose her pinned hands;
>>>>>>>>>>>She struggled to get free,
>>>>>>>>>>>But mangled metal held her fast
>>>>>>>>>>>In grim captivity.
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>Her frightened eyes then focused
>>>>>>>>>>>On where the back seat once had been,
>>>>>>>>>>>But all she saw was broken glass and
>>>>>>>>>>>Two children's seats crushed in.
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>Her twins were nowhere to be seen;
>>>>>>>>>>>She did not hear them cry,
>>>>>>>>>>>And then she prayed they'd been thrown free,
>>>>>>>>>>>"Oh, God, don't let them die!"
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>Then firemen came and cut her loose,
>>>>>>>>>>>But when they searched the back,
>>>>>>>>>>>They found therein no little boys,
>>>>>>>>>>>But the seat belts were intact.
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>They thought the woman had gone mad
>>>>>>>>>>>And was traveling alone,
>>>>>>>>>>>But when they turned to question her,
>>>>>>>>>>>They discovered she was gone.
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>Policemen saw her running wild
>>>>>>>>>>>And screaming above the noise
>>>>>>>>>>>In beseeching supplication,
>>>>>>>>>>>"Please help me find my boys!
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>They're four years old and wear blue shirts;
>>>>>>>>>>>Their jeans are blue to match."
>>>>>>>>>>>One cop spoke up, "They're in my car,
>>>>>>>>>>>And they don't have a scratch.
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>They said their daddy put them there
>>>>>>>>>>>And gave them each a cone,
>>>>>>>>>>>Then told them both to wait for Mom
>>>>>>>>>>>To come and take them home.
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>I've searched the area high and low,
>>>>>>>>>>>But I can't find their dad.
>>>>>>>>>>>He must have fled the scene,
>>>>>>>>>>>I guess, and that is very bad."
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>The mother hugged the twins and said,
>>>>>>>>>>>While wiping at a tear,
>>>>>>>>>>>"He could not flee the scene, you see,
>>>>>>>>>>>For he's been dead a year."
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>The cop just looked confused and asked,
>>>>>>>>>>>"Now, how can that be true?"
>>>>>>>>>>>The boys said, "Mommy, Daddy came
>>>>>>>>>>>And left a kiss for you.
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>He told us not to worry
>>>>>>>>>>>And that you would be all right,
>>>>>>>>>>>And then he put us in this car with
>>>>>>>>>>>The pretty, flashing light.
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>We wanted him to stay with us,
>>>>>>>>>>>Because we miss him so,
>>>>>>>>>>>But Mommy, he just hugged us tight
>>>>>>>>>>>And said he had to go.
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>He said someday we'd understand
>>>>>>>>>>>And told us not to fuss,
>>>>>>>>>>>And he said to tell you, Mommy,
>>>>>>>>>>>He's watching over us."
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>The mother knew without a doubt
>>>>>>>>>>>That what they spoke was true,
>>>>>>>>>>>For she recalled their dad's last words,
>>>>>>>>>>>"I will watch over you."
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>The firemen's notes could not explain
>>>>>>>>>>>The twisted, mangled car,
>>>>>>>>>>>And how the three of them escaped
>>>>>>>>>>>Without a single scar.
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>But on the cop's report was scribed,
>>>>>>>>>>>In print so very fine,
>>>>>>>>>>>An angel walked the beat tonight
>>>>>>>>>>>On Highway 109.
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>"He who has a thousand friends has not a friend to spare ."
>>>>>>>>>>>
