Crosswalk Two-Step

Walking down the boulevard early one day Crossing with the light going the right way He stepped into the street On his nimble feet She checked to the left checked to the right No traffic around not a car in sight He did the "cross walk two step run for your life" Everyone it seems wants to make a widow of his wife The little girl was waiting to go across the street Just trying to get home using her two feet The light said go Her feet did so His call was too important to watch what was happening He drove through the crosswalk her little feet scampering She did the "crosswalk two step run for your life" His day was just too busy to care about her life I was waiting on the street corner for the walk light It came to show me to cross I had the right His light was red Where was his head? He wasn't going to stop that much I could see I'll wait for my walk light once more to be Don't need the "crosswalk two step run for your life" Going to make it home today to be with my wife. Safely across the street, only one more to go. As I stand at the street edge, a car begins to slow. She saw me there. She played it fair. She stopped her car before the white line She waited while I crossed she gave me the time No need for the "crosswalk two step run for my life" The driver of the stopped car was none other than my wife.
