Marc O'Brien Poet Rhyme

Thoughts During a Dreary Midnight Hour

Did I sing Happy Birthday 2 you? 
Or would that make you feel very blue 
It could have been that attitude 


That you get without any sleep 
Waking up with sweat even know there wasn't any heat 
Baby face is back 
And he wants to attack 

Those lovely collegiate dreams you conjure up 
While studying to all ends of the night like a tired pup 
Despite not living on elm street 
The abstract idea can still be sweet. 

Now in this second go a round 
Death still has not brought you down 
And with no time to frown 
There are experiments abound 

At this age 
What type of visions would get the page?
Maybe it could come from the CW comic strip 
Since you all think the flash thing is very hip 
Off to time travel we go 
Like ground hounds wanting to stop the wintry blow 

With that one plot 
Filmmakers gave the story a shot 
Stating there is a point 
When using that joint 
The academics thoughts are so high 
No one wanted to tell yesterday goodbye 

Now that this is the end of another twenty-four-hour period 
You may want to hear it 
While creeping closer to the final day 
When we all say 

At the mass to remember your past 
Dedicated to you 
Reminding us not to screw

Or Baby Face will appear 
Saying my dear, my dear, my dear 
You have much to fear


Happy Birthday 2 U 
I am done talking and I am through.
