I was an english major in college. Word usage is important (don't get me started on the misuse of "comprise"). More to the point, the poor critter was in trouble and needed help. It kind of reminds me of the verse in Sully's Pail: There are men can watch their partners die/not throw their lives away/But Reilly wasn't one them/he wasn't built that way. Getting the topic back to folk music in a way.
