each walks away from the last awful wreck
convinced that they at least were not at fault
in pain from foot right up to shaking neck
one had been certain but now what the heck
the blame is placed on pot or single malt
each walks away from the last awful wreck
a little more afraid daring to check
for signs of trauma not wanting to halt
in pain from foot right up to shaking neck
but silent refusing to note the beck
of anyone around in fear of assault
each walks away from the last awful wreck
stiffly uncertainly just like a mech
robotic being we would not exalt
in pain from foot right up to shaking neck
what's visible from up here on the deck
are shaken folk not worthy of their salt
each walks away from the last awful wreck
in pain from foot right up to shaking neck
