Nice Guy Mechanic, Paul Cash, Part Two

That little drive ~ filled ~ waiting cars just others, counting "lucky stars" Paul did it right, not many marrs! Paul also was this small town's cop to just curb violence, drinking's flop so many years can use you up! One time Paul came on 911 a possum ventured in our house the cupboards clutter was its run! A blanket in his swarthy hands he grabbed the possum taking heed down to the River ~ they'd proceed! One time when I was in a wreck he came to fill in his report I'd broke most all, except my neck! He knew the guy ~ a careless sort who owned the town, riches resort a stop sign never quelled his sport! Paul vowed to catch the guy at bay and parked nearby this guy's outlay it just went on ~ til fateful day! The guy turned over in a ditch taking the light pole with its wires the 911 not called, no switch! Don't tell the town its favorite boy had met his match through his own play! Our town's "nice guy" in every way Paul made it by his real concern, not harnessed by the upper class! Paul gave his best ~ until the last! Paul Cash expired 4-26-2010 this year. There were so many in attendance, that the town had rented the High School Gym, cars overflowing, the town shared its heart that day! How many nice small town guys do you know! Not trying to be #1 at any Super Sport! ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________ ___________________________________________
