HANGING AROUNDA Poem by Phil RobertsA memory of youthful days
Down town, small town
Sunday night hanging around Kids on the skids Got no dough and no place to go All in the bus station Putting themselves on show Gathered in small groups Eyeing each other up Acting and looking just so Then he and she locked eyes Young lust on the cusp Without a hint of disguise It only took a minute or two And these reckless kids Knew what they were going to do It was all upfront with nothing hid These two had already done More than kids shudda did So they found a derelict house And there the deed was done It wasn't meant to be about love It was just about having fun But they decided to meet next day Right after school was done Back in the bus station again Waiting for their buses home So they sat and talked a while And realised they got on Soon they were "going steady" Left their craziness behind After all, they were old enough They had both been around Love bloomed for all of two weeks Before it got him down Having a girl friend was one thing But he preferred nights on the town So he told her cold as ice Sorry babe, you gotta go By Phil Roberts © 2017 Phil Roberts |
