Pride Before A Fall
by Dave FitzgeraldThursday I saved the life of clammy man.
I left him with the paramedic, alive.
I walked away with a feeling of pride,
I've helped a dying man survive.
I have since rested well,
And slept like a dead man in my bed.
Then I heard last night at work,
That the clammy man was dead. 05/25/2006
