So my Lawnmower Repair Guy...
The wind that blows
Is all that anyone knows
-Henry David Thoreau
And is the man all right? Nobody knows
And my lawnmower is hidden behind a fence
A chain-link fence, among mowers in rows
The owner lost a gunfight; he was taken hence
And what about the mowers? Nobody knows
And is the man all right? Nobody knows
UPS has left notes; the door is locked
There is no sound of man or machine
No one has answered when customers knocked
Only the guard-dogs (yep, they’re really mean)
And is the man all right? Nobody knows
Sergeant Schultz at the cop-shop - she knows nothink
She’s busy with her personal smartphone
Her eyes are fixed; they do not move or blink
And I am all alone in The Twilight Zone
And is the man all right? Nobody knows
So what really happened? Nobody knows
And is the man all right? Nobody knows
So who can I contact? Nobody knows
And is the man all right? Nobody knows
Only the wind...
