Check Her Board V2

yep that's right

she stood in the light

while men in masks

played rolls on floors

checker the color 

of her black 

and whiteboard...

she was adored

dads played song

and she drank along

with a fresh cup of cider 

and her pet 

spider beside her

“honey remember”

dad was a member

and a splendor

of a club it was

built with bricks

in a color of tricks

where secrets stick

to the blood

so drink your cider

play with spider

and when the day comes

remember

"...we’re not the bad guys…

no matter what”
