Lost In the Backwods

Took a trip off the beaten path.
Nothing modern in site.
Knee deep in the woods and to scared to laugh.

Blew a tire.
Met some dude that said something about my mouth.
He did admire.

So I ran in fear.
Till no longer him and his brothers dueling banjo
I could no longer hear.

So deep in the forest far from the city and familiar hoods.
Somebody save me.
Cause im lost in the backwoods.

Screamed like a girl when something 
moved near me.
Didnt  realize  it was a rabbit.
Now im stuck up a dam tree.

Hit the ground running  screaming like a banshee.
Thorns in my side twiggs in my hair.
Tore my britches.
And left something expossed I really wish wasnt  bare.

I herd a voice yell fool I fixed your flat tire.
I felt like a moron hiding in poisen ivy.
With my skin on fire.

Looking like a half naked wildman I stummbled 
back to my car.
Threw the guy a tweenty and said.
Now point me to the closest
bar.

I think the movie "Deliverance" inspired you, John. Good bit of humor thinking of you stuck in a tree because a rabbit frightened you. Then there's the poison ivy. After an experience like this, I'd head for the bar too! Great poem. What a storyteller you are!
