John Scott Poet Rhyme

Urban Legend

Urban Legend

Standing like the Gibraltan rock
On the corner of the block
Come rain, wind, sleet or snow
Back and forth he did go
A passion of forty years
Always a smile, never tears
Protector of the young and green
On the streets, the streets so mean
Always there without a doubt
The lollipop man, the kids would shout
The urban legend, Sid, the lollipop man
Always alert, forever looking
The guardian of the zebra crossing
Thank you Sid for being there
We know our kids are in good care

John Scott April 21, 2017 at 4:47 AM Thank you for your comments, I don't know about the USA but here in Britain, most school's opening and ending times are manned by a zebra crossing patrol man affectionately known as lollipop men/ladies due to the sign they carry. There must be a million well respected Sid's out there on the streets.
