not worthy of their salt

 each walks away from the last awful wreck

convinced that they at least were not at fault

in pain from foot right up to shaking neck

 

one had been certain but now what the heck

the blame is placed on pot or single malt

each walks away from the last awful wreck

 

a little more afraid daring to check

for signs of trauma not wanting to halt

in pain from foot right up to shaking neck

 

but silent refusing to note the beck

of anyone around in fear of assault

each walks away from the last awful wreck

 

stiffly uncertainly just like a mech

robotic being we would not exalt

in pain from foot right up to shaking neck

 

what's visible from up here on the deck

are shaken folk not worthy of their salt

each walks away from the last awful wreck

in pain from foot right up to shaking neck
