There's a little old man in his little blue pickup truck His St. Bernard beside him in the seat He's well on his way, this afternoon, to the post-office But he's stopping by the market to pick him up some fruit In the bustling of the town, he picks out a crate of oranges Two cents a pound- and takes the oranges home One rolls out the back of the pickup truck and tumbles On its melancholy way down the dusty market road The little old man turns the truck around Retracing the footsteps of the orange as it rolls Well on its way, this afternoon, toward the post-office Bobbing, it ricochets into the great unknown The little old man parks his little blue pickup truck In the post-office patron parking lot His St. Bernard has confirmed there's no mail here today So they turn their eyes to the deep and endless hole It stretches like a puncture in the plane of their vision In the shoulder of the sidewalk by postbox And like ostriches they dive headfirst into the chasm And reunite with the orange down yonder as they go The three of them have fallen down here many times before Whether in holes in the road or in the ribcages of dogs The little old man and his St. Bernard, Nudley And the orange, round and perfect as the sunlight through the fog They come to a fence An unnecessary fence Only three feet wide in the center of a field Easily scalable Easily passed by And flimsy enough to level With very little effort They didn't harm the tiny fence, without a doubt Isn't that a nice thing to think about
