For Richard....

I got asked to write this about my mate's Old Man,
who yesterday got stuck in an ice patch in his van,
in most situations people would call the AA,
but Richard refused to let this hamper his day.

He began to dig with his fingers until getting frostbite,
fear started to set in - "will I be here for all night?"
with nothing to eat except a nutrigrain bar,
Rich started to pray to see a passing car.

But any man can admire his skills,
because just like the hero entitled Bear Grylls,
he rescued himself like a right little trooper,
with one tool to hand - a blue pooper scooper
