Sorta Song Challenge... a new twist on the "escaping on a stolen steed" theme:

Very weird story.

I know there doesn't have to be any reason to stories like this one but why did he decide to throw a puppy at the Hells Angels? Besides being in exceedingly poor taste, I can't even think of an appropriate pun. Poor little mutt.

You might be able to wring a lament on "cultural differences" into the song, since the MSNBC version of the story replaced "mooned" with "made an obscene gesture."

It also omitted mention of "he had driven so slowly that a 5km tailback built up behind him on the motorway" and reduced that to "abandoned the bulldozer, creating ... traffic congestion."

Almost as bizarre as the inane throwing of a puppy would be his expectation that he could outrun a bunch of bikers on a bulldozer.

Maybe the bikers were too puzzled to react - or they were arguing about who got to keep the pup?

By the Cops I was arrested,
They were quite a pleasant bunch
Didn't know what made me do it,
Didn't even have a hunch.
Could be I had depression
and forgot to take my pills.
But I should have kept it to myself
And headed for the hills.
I went up to the 'Angels hut,
and showed them all my moon.
I threw a puppy in their midst,
And made my exit soon.
I found a 'Harley Dozer' on
A nearby building site,
I wound the throttle open, to
Rush safely out of sight.
The traffic kept the Angels at bay,
Till I dumped it in great haste.
I hitch hiked up the highway
and by the cops I was outpaced.
The puppy's in a shelter now
and I am in the can.
As for as showing my backside off
I'll get a lifetime ban.

I was singing your song to The Klan, minus the chorus tune. Worked purty good.
