Help Get Charlie Off the MTA

To:  The MBTA

As stated in the song "The Man Who Never Returned" by the Kingston Trio, there is a man named Charlie Who On a tragic and fateful day;
put ten cents in his pocket,
Kissed his wife and family,
And Went to ride on the M. T. A.

But did he ever return?
No, he never returned,
And his fate is still unlearned.
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston,
He's the man who never returned.

Charlie handed in his dime
At the Kendall Square station,
And he changed for Jamaica Plain.
When he got there the conductor told him,
"One more nickel."
Charlie couldn't get off of that train.

But did he ever return
No, he never returned,
And his fate is still unlearned.
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston,
He's the man who never returned.

All night long Charlie rides through the station,
Crying, "What will become of me?
How can I afford to see my sister in Chelsea
Or my cousin in Roxbury?"

But did he ever return
No, he never returned,
And his fate is still unlearned.
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston,
He's the man who never returned.

Charlie's wife goes down
To the Scully Square station
Every day at a quarter past two.
And through the open window
She hands Charlie a sandwich
As the train comes rumbling through.

But did he ever return
No, he never returned,
And his fate is still unlearned.
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston,
He's the man who never returned.

Poor Charlie... He May Never Return. And thats why we need your help! Yes! I have reason to believe that Charlie is still riding beneath Boston on the MTA! (Now known as the MBTA) He is a prisoner of the system. He had no money on him and is being refused the right to exit! This is where you can help. Sign this petition and help get Charlie off the MTA. Together we can make a difference. We can help a poor old man who has been trying his whole life to escape that train. Pitch in and work towards his rescue.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
