Don’t reckon it’s on my list neither.http://www.nomoreabandonedcarts.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?pid=C59E6B04-B313-41E7-9667-BCE395D6ABA7http://www.nomoreabandonedcarts.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?pid=C59E6B04-B313-41E7-9667-BCE395D6ABA7 When I first developed this photo, I asked me, “Lib-Dogg, when did you go to the moon?” Then I remembered that the moon don’t have curbs yet. http://www.nomoreabandonedcarts.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?pid=E299C176-4FDA-4578-8D7B-FB59F4436EC6http://www.nomoreabandonedcarts.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?pid=E299C176-4FDA-4578-8D7B-FB59F4436EC6 Seeing this cart inspirated me to haiku: You must be a pie Ain’t no other way to ‘splain Desserting a cart.http://www.nomoreabandonedcarts.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?pid=9208A987-E0EA-469A-A9A9-26E94602FD43http://www.nomoreabandonedcarts.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?pid=9208A987-E0EA-469A-A9A9-26E94602FD43 Shakespeare knew tragedy could be a beautiful thing. Like this picture. All things bein’ equals, I doubt Shakespeare woulda got his tights wet to pull this poor cart from his wintery plight. I’m just sayin’: Some of us fight the fight while others wear frilly shirts and write sonnets ‘bout it.http://www.nomoreabandonedcarts.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?pid=AE0DC48E-FD29-4CCB-A152-B2A4EB26E623http://www.nomoreabandonedcarts.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?pid=AE0DC48E-FD29-4CCB-A152-B2A4EB26E623 Like Rome weren’t built in one fortnight, saving carts don’t happen quick-like neither. But these two always remind me that Rome can be builded. And by “Rome” I mean “cart salvation.” And by “builded” I mean “attained, brethren and sisteren.” Darned spellcheck is telling me “builded” don’t mean neither of those.http://www.nomoreabandonedcarts.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?pid=2CC2A4A1-F502-40CA-9943-01F69AD0A033http://www.nomoreabandonedcarts.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?pid=2CC2A4A1-F502-40CA-9943-01F69AD0A033 Somewhere, some lucky duck’s got him some fine mahogany furnishins. This lonesome red cart was good ‘nuff to move stuff. But then Mr. Fancy Mahogany Furniture Guy pulled the ol’ Love ‘Em & Leave ‘Em. It’s a boot to the buttonfly. A cryin’ shame. (This is where I wish I knowed the emotioncon for “tear.”) How’s these: *(, or ;!, or maybe :?http://www.nomoreabandonedcarts.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?pid=40E36B84-6C0C-423F-A9BE-2CCD1E4FBE5Bhttp://www.nomoreabandonedcarts.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?pid=40E36B84-6C0C-423F-A9BE-2CCD1E4FBE5B If a cart gets lost in the forest, does somebody find it? Uh huh, long as that somebody’s me. And long as the forest ain’t the one with that green witch’s flying devil monkeys in it. Ain’t no primate gang gonna tear the straw outta this scarecrow.http://www.nomoreabandonedcarts.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?pid=8DB42B16-36C2-4FE1-8840-A989CCD581B2http://www.nomoreabandonedcarts.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?pid=8DB42B16-36C2-4FE1-8840-A989CCD581B2Now this is a vexation. How in the name of Clint Black did this cart get there? Ain’t no tracks. And it certainly don’t have a parachute, so it didn’t drop from the skies. You don’t got to be the Hardy Boys to sniff the odiferous stench of foul play. Particularly if you’re the one with the deviated septic. I believe that was Frank.http://www.nomoreabandonedcarts.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?pid=7379263F-717B-4F65-B8E6-0391DA901146http://www.nomoreabandonedcarts.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?pid=7379263F-717B-4F65-B8E6-0391DA901146 They says that a picture’s worth a thousand words. Well, if that’s so, then for this picture, 999 of those would hafta be “sad.” http://www.nomoreabandonedcarts.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?pid=9C3B11A6-DDCC-4E6A-B160-7CF8ED602436http://www.nomoreabandonedcarts.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?pid=9C3B11A6-DDCC-4E6A-B160-7CF8ED602436I call this one Frosty ‘cause he was all frostified when I happened upon him. What’s that? You thought it was ‘cause he come to life due to some Abe Lincoln hat on his snowball noggin? Come on, man. That’s just foolish. He was already alive. Duh.http://www.nomoreabandonedcarts.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?pid=7AFB5114-28C1-412B-B5C4-3F6CC7F27F66http://www.nomoreabandonedcarts.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?pid=7AFB5114-28C1-412B-B5C4-3F6CC7F27F66 This feller’d been on the run for months when I found him. Sometimes these carts just can’t help but roll into trouble. As you can see here, our little blue buddy was about to bear witness to the nasty side of minivans. And I ain’t talkin’ ‘bout that fake wood paneling side.http://www.nomoreabandonedcarts.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?pid=D2BB74CB-05DC-412D-AD4F-B6A409D1B209http://www.nomoreabandonedcarts.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?pid=D2BB74CB-05DC-412D-AD4F-B6A409D1B209 Found this poor chromecaster wheel-deep in a life-sized slushie. And not the good grape or cola kind. We’s talkin’ a flavor like slimy leaves, gutter gunk, human refuse, and oilspills. Bet you won’t find that flavor at the corner mini-mart. ‘Cept maybe in Nevada ‘cause them folks will do near ‘bout anything.http://www.nomoreabandonedcarts.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?pid=45425CB9-C82D-4C55-A09D-A6CFC1166079http://www.nomoreabandonedcarts.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?pid=45425CB9-C82D-4C55-A09D-A6CFC1166079Even the sidewalk wern't good enough for this poor cart. The curb is all he gets.http://www.nomoreabandonedcarts.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?pid=DADB323D-C792-441C-B44E-389FD1704BBBhttp://www.nomoreabandonedcarts.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?pid=DADB323D-C792-441C-B44E-389FD1704BBB I heard them Hollywood writers was picketing. In solid airity to their cause, I ain’t writing a caption for this cart. (These words don’t count.)http://www.nomoreabandonedcarts.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?pid=375313E1-BD51-418C-878C-4DF7440437B4http://www.nomoreabandonedcarts.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?pid=375313E1-BD51-418C-878C-4DF7440437B4Grant Lee from Mary Land sent me this blurry picture that reminds me of them old pictures of ol' big-footed Sasquatchewan from Canadia. Mama always used to call Canadia America Jr. Never made no sense to me since country's can't reproduct. And besides, ain't America a she? So Jr. would hafta be named after the stud who sired him, right?http://www.nomoreabandonedcarts.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?pid=3076FADA-FFE3-4ABB-87CB-5844939D5421http://www.nomoreabandonedcarts.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?pid=3076FADA-FFE3-4ABB-87CB-5844939D5421Some carts just fall in with bad company. Found this one slumped up against a sloshed entertainment center cabinet. If you ain't carefuls, you start with entertainment center cabinets, pretty soon you move on to water bed frames, then it's a short drop to the seedy underworld of cardboard cribs and thrift store ashtrays. And then there ain't no comin' back. http://www.nomoreabandonedcarts.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?pid=4D041272-FCA0-401A-A4EE-3E0E5D126887http://www.nomoreabandonedcarts.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?pid=4D041272-FCA0-401A-A4EE-3E0E5D126887And I mean beat, like been beat up bad. Life is cruel like that. But it ain't all bad. Just take a gander at that cutie on them steps. Sweetheart's got a sorta girl-next-trailer charm to her, now don't she?http://www.nomoreabandonedcarts.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?pid=E84C9170-787A-4015-AF98-BC6C6BD0388Dhttp://www.nomoreabandonedcarts.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?pid=E84C9170-787A-4015-AF98-BC6C6BD0388DJanine from Raleigh writes, “This cart reminds me of that old short film about the red balloon. Except this is a cart. And it’s not in France. It’s actually in North Carolina.” Thanks, Janine. I actually had me some French fries for supper.

This 4-castered angel made it. Hallelujah.http://www.nomoreabandonedcarts.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?pid=003C4662-6AF3-4239-B7C3-F30A7E0C462Ehttp://www.nomoreabandonedcarts.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?pid=003C4662-6AF3-4239-B7C3-F30A7E0C462ESome of these carts get just a lick and a promise, and they’re off to fend for theyselves in this mean, mad world. I found Alleycart just as he was about to resort to sippin’ some stranger’s discarded soda beverage. Some other carts ain’t been so lucky, gulping down other cowpoke’s backwash. Or worse, Thunderbird.http://www.nomoreabandonedcarts.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?pid=8E30D849-D3E1-4F5F-BB7F-D316DE2ABC2Ahttp://www.nomoreabandonedcarts.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?pid=8E30D849-D3E1-4F5F-BB7F-D316DE2ABC2ACouple young, troubled gemini carts I stumbled on, middle of the county’s biggest Organizing Rack sidewalk sale. Look real close and you’ll see a cameo appearance by one of my fingers. But I ain’t sayin’ which finger.http://www.nomoreabandonedcarts.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?pid=F0FE82FB-A1EE-492F-8547-F1BAA99A63FBhttp://www.nomoreabandonedcarts.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?pid=F0FE82FB-A1EE-492F-8547-F1BAA99A63FBThe red paper on the window says, “UNSAFE.” Pretty much sums up my sentiments in regards to abandoned carts, don’t it? Coincidentally, it also sums up my philosophizings on females, cellular telephones, and drum circles. http://www.nomoreabandonedcarts.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?pid=48217BCC-D8B3-42CC-8B63-82ED859DA338http://www.nomoreabandonedcarts.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?pid=48217BCC-D8B3-42CC-8B63-82ED859DA338 Rescuing abandoned carts is my anti-drug.

You can practically hear Sally calling out to that no-good mudsill as he lopes away, “Hey, bub! Yeah, you! With the irresistancable Buddha belly! Can’tcha stop just for a second. I’m dreadful lost…Please? Come back…” If this was one of them talkie photos, you’d get a better idea.http://www.nomoreabandonedcarts.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?pid=8B03EE2A-0EAB-4A06-94B6-7747119A84BAhttp://www.nomoreabandonedcarts.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?pid=8B03EE2A-0EAB-4A06-94B6-7747119A84BAYou ain’t never met a sweeter dispositioned cart than this lil’darlin’. In spite of her being subjectified to the colorful wordage of nearby construction workers, I found this peaceful soul basking in a yellow sea of serenity. (Don’t let the color of the sea taint yer imagining. I’s just trying to be thematical.)http://www.nomoreabandonedcarts.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?pid=1A028346-54C9-4BE2-9FE8-5EDD85178A4Fhttp://www.nomoreabandonedcarts.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?pid=1A028346-54C9-4BE2-9FE8-5EDD85178A4F This lil’ buddy left the lot on what was s’posed to be just a 3-hour tour. Little did he know he’d end up ship-recked on the Park Street island. No Professor, no Marianne, no coconut radios. If not for the courage of the fearless dude (me), this minnow would be lost.http://www.nomoreabandonedcarts.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?pid=DE9BD82F-6D08-4304-AC64-461696CF745Ehttp://www.nomoreabandonedcarts.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?pid=DE9BD82F-6D08-4304-AC64-461696CF745E Rescuing abandoned carts is my anti-drug.

Now, I ain’t no wheelist, but heaven knows no four-wheeled cart’s got a snowcone’s chance in Primm with a two-wheeler. ‘Specially a curvy little hotrod with 10 SPEEDS!http://www.nomoreabandonedcarts.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?pid=76BDA6EC-7905-4672-9FAE-3DF0EAA23066http://www.nomoreabandonedcarts.com/PhotoDetail.aspx?pid=76BDA6EC-7905-4672-9FAE-3DF0EAA23066 Couldn’t understand a galldurn word of Beto from Spain’s picture techs message thingie, but I know one thing: it being on the interweb makes this cart e-Spanish.
