She’s Lost

She’s Lost

He Said, She Said – 4

She went a-wanderin’. She lost her way.
He found her and caught up to her.
She does not recognize him

He said, Hello. You look lost
She said No I’m Ann
He said Where are you going?
She said I forgot
He said Do you know where you are?
She said I’m in…Canada
He said Where’s that?
She said I don’t know
He said So you’re lost
She said No I’m Ann
He said Where do you want to go?
She said Home
He said Which way is that?
She said Mmmmmm—that way?
He said I don’t think so
She said Who are you?
He said I’m Herb
She said Who is that?
He said That’s me. Who are you?
She said Me
He said What’s your name?
She said Don’t be stupid
He said I’M not stupid
She said Hello then.
He said Hello. I’m so happy to meet you
She said Where are you going?
He said Anywhere you like
She said Where’s that?
He said How about home?
She said Where’s that?
He said Nearby. It’s this way
She said Okay
He said Where were you going?
She said Over there
He said So you were lost?
She said No I’m Ann

I should have known not to argue.
So I took her home, bless her.
