Short Hatfield Poems

Whoa, ship ahoy, girls can play this game.
So we’re not a boy, we’ll win just the same.
Yo, like Hatfield/McCoy, choose sides, your name.
Go balloon convoy, water’s our claim to fame.

Though the weapon’s a toy, take careful aim;
Throw smart, redeploy or we'll lose in shame.
No fair playing coy or casting blame;
Slow down and enjoy the reason we came.

What's to win (or lose) in water balloon fights.

Down the road lest been betrayed 
     Now my hopes have ran astray 
Down the road to forgotten 
     I lay my dreams unsoughten 

Dashing the way in to the day 
     Down the road to forgotten 
The way it's paved for another time 
     The less it is untwined. 

Let me remember how it was today 
     And the thoughts if disarray. 
Betwixed the lines unseen 
     The reason seems a kind of dream.
