Crusin' down the long lonesome road known as the A590 (U.K.) early hours,about 3:30, total darkness. My peddle to the metal as I often did, I came upon a Hitcher or should I say almost splattered the brain dead pratt!

I guess he decided the best way to get a lift is to wear dark clothing and jump out on unsuspecting wagons.

Hi Paul, just run them over mate. We get a lot of seriously drunk morons staggering around in the road here. What I do is assist them to the pavement, and then once I'm sure they're out of harms way I smack them in the head! They won't try obstructing the traffic again And you don't have to clean the wheels
As for running over mysterious objects I've only managed a deer, several birds, and a remarkable number of childrens toys cunningly concealed by my younger relatives under the car

I wrote a song about a hitch-hiker once. Well, it was meant to be a song but it came out more like a poem. I'm not particularly talented or artistic - tried writing a few songs before & decided I wasn't cut out for it. One day at work this thing suddenly came into my head out of nowhere. I had to stop & write it all down before I forgot. It was pretty good too even if I say so myself. The words just flowed, quicker than I could write them down. I've never experienced anything like it before or since & can't explain it. Many years later I showed it to my daughter. She set it to music, crediting her old Dad for the lyrics, as part of her GCSE exam. She got top marks for it & I was so proud.

Hagar pal, perhapse you have a secret yearning to be a hitch hiker

I have many unfulfilled secret yearnings Tempest. Hitch-hiking was never one of them. I know my limitations & although I would like it to be otherwise I accepted long ago that I will never make a poet, songwriter or artist. It was Scania's first line in this topic that reminded of the one & only poem I did write - back in the early 1970s I think it was. My little masterpiece was entitled "Girl on the Motorway" & actually started off something like this

hitch hikers are the ones that usually end up buried in the woods or bushland.
