No barrel of laughs

Where have all my friends gone? Citation Boulevard from Jaggie Fox Way to Leestown Road was completed several months ago and all my friends have gone, but here I am, crumpled, sitting all alone in the median at Georgetown Road and Citation.

People drive by looking and wondering where that Little Orange Barrel’s family and friends are. Is he homeless, is he hungry, did his Little Orange Barrel wife throw him out?

Then they realize that he has just been left out in the cold. His wrinkles and his dents made it so he didn’t fit in with the others upon the mass barrel retrieval after opening the road.

Please, someone, help this Little Orange Barrel get back to his Little Orange Barrel family and friends before something tragic happens. He could be caught up in Little Orange Barrel trafficking where he would truly be lost forever.
