Hitch a ride, show some leg Go far, don't end up dead Ditch my sign, future set With strange friend I've just met "Radar Love" - dig this sound! Shallow grave - never found

Funny that.. when I tried to hitch a ride by showing some leg, I learned never to hitch a ride while stood by a massive muddy puddle! Enjoyed your macabre journey. Terry

I spent far too long on this poem and still missed an extra syllable in line two (now fixed!). Plus I have the song stuck in my head now too haha :) it was tricky thinking of the twist but being merry until the line - I decided the double bluff of calling it early was the way to go :)
