Why I was Late for Our Date
Why I was late for Our Date
Clark Steven Lupton
February 19, 2005
I know it’s at 8 that we were supposed to have our date
But the unexpected happened so I’m sorry I’m late
There was a car accident and someone cried out a yelp
There was smoke and glass everywhere and they needed my help
Then after that I thwarted a crime
If you don’t believe me you can check out the news, primetime
The president walked behind the rope and I had to pull it
Because a shot was fired and I stopped the bullet!
They took me to the hospital, no cause for alarm
They cut off my shirt and pulled the bullet out of my arm
As you can see I wasn’t a goner
And the president even gave me the Medal of Honor
And then I went to get my car
When I heard a child screaming from afar
The sun had set so it was dark
And a man was molesting a child in the park
What I saw cannot be said
So I jumped on him and bashed his head!
The mother got her kid and he could resume the choir
And I was on my way to see you when I saw the fire
I ran to the burning building and heard a cat
I saw it thrown out of a third story window, ready to go splat!
In a flash I caught it, it was all such a blur
The cat was unharmed and it began to purr
Since the cat was safe, next jumped the owner
She damaged her kidney and I volunteered to be the donor
So after the operation I came straight here
My date said, “No you didn’t, you were with your friends drinking beer!”
