War clouds roll in
Bullets rain, fight the storm
Eighteen hands now crossed, under flags

Bathing is for others. Not me. Not me!
Cleaning? No way. I want to be free!
Move out when I’m eighteen?
That would be obscene.
You can hold onto me like my sisters three.

Do You Know What I Mean

It drove me on 
When I was with a girl
Romance was the thing
And all I could think about
At the time when would she say yes
For I was eighteen 
Do you know what I mean?

Built then in eighteen fifty-six
Earthquake, tidal wave couldn’t nix
Crescent City did lighthouse fix
At low tide it’s accessible
Strong and stoutly made of white bricks
Structure's not so  impressible

Named for island’s bird, not a few
