The night may well still be young
But only if you are of that age
And i certainly ain’t as i sit here
Legs, feet, back
All aches and pains as
The night continues in a blur of
Punk rock, smokes and the
Thought if i comedown of this
Feeling of euphoria then bed
Will soon follow and tomorrow
A day beckons, with
The possibility of a pub visit and
If not then certainly the laying
Down of more words…
En route to the liquor store
when I spot the white truck.
Oh, to be young again!
Hard to believe
there was a time when those
cold treats were enough.

Drumstick
These days
I need something much stronger—
And after a full day behind the wheel,
combing the streets for kids
and listening to that God-awful jingle
I’m sure he does, too.
