When Your Young Life Catches You Flat Footed

When Your Young Life Catches You Flat Footed BarBQ, potato chips Mountain Dew and Watermelon pie It was a huge celebration of friends on the Fourth of July There was Tammy with beautiful hair and those dark tanned legs And Patricia looking so sexy, appetizing, made a soul want to beg Then ravishing Connie, O, me my, my, those sweet sexy lips Last but not least there was Helen, that made Greeks launch those ships Four very beautiful women and each one I had once dated I wonder if the day would be a curse that was indeed ill Fated And each one of them was surely there to see little ole me I did not know whether to be very glad or so swiftly flee My new wife looked at me, gave me that "you better behave stare" I was immediately wishing these feet to rush me out of there What to do next, what to say, damn it, I had not a clue I was so deeply perplexed, and thus into the house I flew "Man o man", the pressure on my heart surely hit me damn hard Like a wise man, I went and hid in my library, writing like a Bard. Robert J. Lindley, 16 verse Narrative
