All the Best Intentions

It was a hot mid-summer day
And I am biking on the Ojai trail
In the uphill direction
When I came upon a young boy
Totally overheated,
Face bright red
From heat prostration.
He obviously needed to cool off
So I decided to play Good Samaritan
And took his water bottle
And poured it over his head.
The poor kid!
Unbeknownst to me
It was Gatorade!
Now he was not only hot,
But he was sticky too.
I think he learned a lesson,
To beware of that overzealous Samaritan,
The one with all the best intentions.
