Blood

2781

I saw a friend one Saturday morn 

Had blood all over him

Tattered and torn 

Couldn't remember if he had been in a fight 

Couldn't remember any of last night 

He knew he lost his wallet and phone 

We back tracked from home to the pub 

To early to open but they were unloading the truck 

Turns out they seen it all 

My friend was so drunk he napped on the tar 

Another drunk drove around the corner and nearly hit him with his car 

My friend staggers up to say hi 

Gets a punch in the face and one in the eye 

"Who is he, how can I find him?"

Why do that! Leave it behind you. 

But it was not about his face

The fault was his

The driver had a case 

What a man I thought 

To seek to apologise for his mistake.

    A great story in poetic form. I found it entertaining and well written.

      Thank you, I am so impressed with this fellow, not a coward like me.

        I kind of miss the honesty of being yourself, seems to me a lot of pretension underlying modern society. Excuse the rant. Thanks Dave.

        In a place I once lived (thankfully no longer) that would be a not unusual Saturday night. Well writ.
