Ramblings of a Madman by kscorn080 (pete)

I took a walk one fine fall day

Stopped for a bit, to watch some kids at play

They were playing a game called tackle the man

All were piled onto a kid named Dan

I kinda felt sorry for the little guy

Cause he had got smeared and had mud in his eye

He had a scraped place on the side of his head

A huge hole torn in his shirt of red

I started to go and give him some aid

And for that mistake, I dearly paid

No sooner had I stepped off of the walk

Than they tossed me the ball and I started to balk

I tried to run but they had me surrounded

Kids hanging all over, in a flash I was grounded

They were laughing and yelling about the old man

But they all came over to give me a hand

Once they had me back on my feet

I said "seeya" guys , and I beat a retreat

My pants were dirty, I had leaves in my hair

My wife looked at me with a baleful stare

She said one foot in here and you'll answer to me

So I sat on the porch with my head twixt my knees

Them little brats come and they started to tease

Aww cmon mister and play with us please.
