Grandma got run over by a pickup truck

Grandma got run over by a pickup

Walking downtown Sandpoint late last week

You might think that no such think could happen

But as for me and Grandpa: life is bleak

She'd been out doing lots of shopping

(And downtown's the finest place to go)

But as she stepped out into the crosswalk

A pickup knocked her down into the snow

When we ran out and pulled her from the pavement

Right there at the scene of the attack

There were skid marks on her handbag

And incriminating tread-marks on her back

Grandma got run over by a pickup

We hope she will recover, but 'till then

We're looking for that milk of human kindness

Where's all that peace on earth, good will to men?

I've now warned all my friends and neighbors

Who'd like to think that "Walking Town" tag true

Too many folks would rather run you over

Please ask yourself if this might sound like you.
