...Here's to You!...

this is an ode to....well, those to whom it is an ode will know it :)

shadows running twisting back and turning 'round
fading in and out beneath the darkness of the trees
just like lightning, across the hill
fast as you can, hope that no one sees

"where's the night watch gone?" you ask
maybe they're staring at a laptop screen
that's no problem, fine with us
it just helps us keep from being seen

watermelons, poppers on the door
a name on the parking lot
snapdragons on the floor
shaving cream on fence-boards,
yucca plants turned into swords
don't ever put teenagers together
when they're tired and bored

"what can we do tonight?" someone says
"wire the freezer and the kitchen doors"
"if we hit them too hard
they won't let us come back anymore"

watermelons, poppers on the door
a name on the parking lot
snapdragons on the floor
soap bars from the bathroom
underneath a full moon
that's what always happens
with devious minds in bloom

grab your camo,
watch out for the spotlight
run fast as you can,
please don't get in a fight
ru on, run on...till the morning light

watermelons, poppers on the door
a name on the parking lot
snapdragons on the floor
shaving cream on fence-boards,
yucca plants turned into swords
don't ever put teenagers together
when they're tired and bored


Good Day...

PS this is a punk-style song...so it was necessary to make some of the rhyme and meter bad :)

I resemble that "night watch" part a little.

Bravo!!!!!
Good times....wait. "Good times" doesn't even measure up. It was much, much better than that.

But, it seems as though you've forgotten something.

"Guys scaring girls
and the other way around
'let's sneak up on them!'
through the door we bound"

Great fun, that.

PS: yucca plants are no fun.
