Boys In the Yard


See them bully boys in the schoolyard
playing penitentiary hard
Face-scraping the concrete ...
Neanderthal knuckle features marred

Look at the smart treehouse girls
(with Zoology swing low ease thus far)
put the dumb cave-butt chimps
behind the Donkey Kong monkey bars

Finding virgin puppy love is a tight collar affair;
young hearts hate to get cuffed,
bouncing ball feelings ... smitten hands in the air
A maybe love just ain’t enough

It’s an ear turf rough 
Tarzan Cowboy Bebop lip game,
Pen pal kisses sho is a 
jungle pride slide hip-hop shame

Arrested development warrants 
such XY hormonal stall sandbox thrillers
Misty-eyed Janes getting spit shade 
from juvenile gazes by man-child gorillas

Marry a lady should be 
the diamond Stone soul picnic plan
Good fellas do sit happy,
until the recess bell taunting began

After school...on the playground punk. : ) This was really cool Freddie. A class look at the hierarchy of school days. Nicely done.
