JONAH LIVES UNDER THE BRIDGE

Jonah lives under the bridge
He’s there, up off the ground
His world is looking down
Bicycles pass him by
Children ask parents why
Jonah lives under the bridge

Jonah lives under the bridge
No insurance policy on Jonah’s odyssey
Send in the scholar, see Jonah in squalor
Jonah lives under the bridge

Jonah lives under the bridge
His roof is the pathway the tires all travel
People with somewhere to go
His floor is the grit and the sand and the gravel
The rain and the wind and the cold
Jonah lives under the bridge

Jonah lives under the bridge
For those with the will to earn up the dollar
People with something to buy
Jonah finds cardboard to burn up the hours
To warm up the smoke in his eyes
Jonah lives under the bridge

This came out of a story in the Star Telegram about a guy that lived under one of the bridges near Trinity Park. I was angry at a reporter who did a story about him and it got him removed.
