Shutting Down Arby's

Tonight, oh what a night it was Nearly five hours spent At a fast food restaurant Laughing and talking our way through life Who else but you and I Could get kicked out For shutting down Arby’s So folks could go home We spoke of life Of love lost and found Of sex and dreams The devil and Holy Ghost We talked of beliefs Work and foolish friends Of places to travel And goofy things we’ve done We spoke of fantasies And how people are Of puppies, kittens and relatives Of future goals and lost hopes Integrity and the things people think about We asked why people Are the way they are Remembered childhood moments and scary movies Came to know each other Just a little bit better Laughed at our life While we joked about Shutting down Arby’s Such a unique distinction To have done such a thing But then again It was time well spent Between a father and daughter And all I can say For letting it be so Is thank you God NOTE*** May all father’s have such a day. Happy Father’s Day
