It’s Funny If You Think About It

No gas anywhere
No place to refill
None in the tank
On a narrow curve
Call roadside assistance
Nothing we can do
Gas is on the way
Wait in a muddy snow bank
Shivering on the shoulder
A few cars stop
Offer help
But mostly pity
Nothing they can do
Gas is on the way
Wait in a muddy snow bank
Laugh at the mud
Laugh at the rain
Laugh at cold toes
Laugh that it’s getting late
Nothing else to do
Gas is on the way
Wait in a muddy snow bank
