Ron (The Hero)

Ron (The Hero)
 
Ron Nessman is not  
Les Nessman (or less than human)
 
Sittin on a bench waiting for sis
To get the car sparkly and shiny
 
Just put down his best impression  
Trying to get a job at Applebees  
 
Not really paying attention  
Sittin and waiting for her
 
See out of the corner of his eye a
Stroller strolling to the boulevard
 
There’s no phone booth
What are they anyway
 
His costume says save the child  
Spring into saving the lad  
 
By the curb grab the handle
Turn the Little man’s life around
 
Steer him back to a relative
She’s on the ground again and again
 
Blood on her knees but little man
Is untouchable because of a man  
Named Ron the truck driver
 
Grieving girlfriend on his plate
Sinks into homelessness and despair  
 
He’s baptized as a savior
By the way you know
He should be America’s new spokesman  
 
Do the right thing
Without a thought
 
Even if demons and distress  
Cross your path

Author's Note
Does anyone remember the man saving a little boy in a stroller that was headed for the highway. Ron Nessman is his name.
