0 Somebody's Grandfather

The aging man found himself on the side of the road.
That old truck just wouldn't go.

He really, really needed a tow
,but there was no one in sight on that lonely road.

He sees a cop coming his way.
But the officer couldn't be delayed.

A businessman comes down the street
He is tired from work ,and he is really beat.

He thinks of helping the man because he is old
,but he doesn't want his dinner to get cold.

A speeding truck flies by with a zoom.
He can still hear the music from the speakers. Boom, boom, boom.

To his surprise the truck turns around.
An awkward teenager leaps out with a bound.

He had piercings and long hair.
Not the one you would expect to care.

He happens to be a mechanic in town.
So he fixed up the truck without a frown.
And told the man," I would want someone to help my grandpa if he were broke down."

The old man offered to pay him some money
,but the teenager thought it felt funny.

The teenager said," It's just a good deed."
"The good book says to help those in need."
