In Need of A Rescue
Bloom's off the rose beat from the heat
Rendering the visual in a hot, sticky treat
Without the ambition to put feet to fleet
In need of a rescue off the mean city street
============================
Just silent pretty candy posed in defeat
Seen as less than zero on the downbeat
Posted at the door with grace you greet
In need of a rescue off the mean city street
=================================
July in St. Louie buckles the concrete
Stripping in a way less than discreet
Survival of the fittest becomes a cheat
In need of a rescue off the mean city street
=================================
Neediness begs for a hand in retreat
Out of the sun with a place at love's seat
Gentle care brings life back in replete
Supplying a rescue off the mean city street
=================================
A castaway rises from the ashes of obsolete
Changing destiny to a landscape of complete
A place in the world now scented sweet
Brought by a rescue off the mean city street
==================================
