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.
