My friend Joey and me were hanging out in his yard
Had nothing to do though we were thinking real hard Nearing end of August we were sweating from the heat
Joey gives out a shout, I got an idea that's really neat
We could go to the corner ice cream and candy store
Got no money to spend, we'll get thrown out the door
We can go swimming at the junior high's indoor pool
A locked gate, no lifeguard on duty, no way to be cool
Our last plan brought us to our towns roadside stream
A No Trespassing sign nailed to a tree can be easily seen
When Joie and I are striped down to are swimming trunks
Up pulls officer Kelly's cruiser, oh brother we are sunk
Driving me home I thought my dad was quite upset
I did something for a long time he might not forget
But he smiled at me and said we're on the same page
I got caught swimming there too when I was your age.

So much fun. Great work.
Thank you Thomas
lol most endearing, and such a wake up call for today's world, in which it's so very different. 🌹 Nostalgia I have so many childhood stories floating around me now, you've awoken my warmer memory side. 🌹
Great, thank you
I really enjoyed this . It was like reliving
my childhood back when being a kid was fun . Times were much simpler then . Thank you for this .
Hello, your welcome, yes times were so much nicer back then, but we like to remember only the good stuff.
