FRED’S LOST HEAD by Russ McKay

Big shouldered Fred
Had lost his whole head
And of course, can’t see to find it
He can’t hear it either
And he’s lost his breather
He’s found a chair and he’s feeling behind it
Well it didn’t roll there
It could be anywhere
He really needs my help the big lug
I asked how he lost it
Had he just tossed it?
But those shoulders he’d just shrug
We searched all around
In the trees…on the ground
Until I heard a voice start to yell
“I’m way down here
I’ve a headache severe”
Fred’s head had rolled down the well
We slowly lowered the pail
His head continued to wail
“Hurry or I’m gonna drown!”
“Keep your chin up Fred”
And then he said
“I’m so glad that I have been found”
Well we bailed out his head
And replaced it for Fred
On his shoulders where it needs to stay
“Remember Fred
When you lose your head
I’m your friend and I’ll be on the way”
“Until you dropped the rope
I had given up hope
I had replaced it with dread”
I said “You must never lose hope
No never say nope
Never quit when you are a head!”
