Dedicated to Lenslinger

The Great Police Chase

He pulls out on the boulevard,
crosses to the other side.
Others blow their horns,
hit their brakes and slide!
He swerves around the corners
barely staying on his wheels,
a siren wailing far behind
as every bump he feels.

He’s running all the red lights
doin’ ninety miles an hour!
The police, they can’t stop him
‘cause they just don’t have the power.
Folks say, “He’s just a run-away,
we ought to let him go.”
While others shout, “Stop him, no doubt!”
An’ me, I just don’t know.

He takes a left, then a right,
folks pull out of his way!
He pulls out on the Interstate
to where, I cannot say.
We don’t know much about him
and don’t know where he’ll go,
but one thing that we know for sure,
he’s puttin’ on a show!

Traffic chopper’s flyin’ overhead.
Now he’s on TV!
The networks picked the signal up,
the world can watch for free.
The talkin’ heads are talkin’
Said, “It gave us quite a start.
Who’d a thought we’d cover
a run-away shopping cart?”

Said, “I wonder why he did it?
A rogue who won the nation’s heart,
an’ all the country’s talkin’ ‘bout
a run-away shopping cart!”

Like I said: This post is dedicated to my friend Stewart, AKA: Lenslinger, who would no doubt have to film it if it ever really happened. Ya'll go tell him "Howdy," for me, okay?
