Cool

 

The definition of cool

Depends on who you ask

Could be of your personal interest

Occasionally worn like a mask

 

A variation of temperature

Not warm and not really cold

“But take a sweater just in case”

This you might be told

 

A sign of approval

On a job well done

A handshake with thanks

Future trust is won

 

The rumble of a ’32 Deuce Coupe

Thundering fire from chrome pipes

Chopped top and drag slicks

“Hey man, that ride is nice”

 

And the youth of today

Backwards ball caps and pants falling down

Big kids on small bikes

Riding all over town

 

Cars that go boom

Cars that go jump jump

Hear it coming a mile away

Feel the bass go thump thump

 

You can ask all your teachers

But they won’t tell you in school

It’s something you learn from your generation

The meaning of “cool”
