Take a Ride
Come take a ride with me
It's Friday night to spend
Would you spend it with me
Let's cruise Main Street tonight
My gas, get you a shake
We can cruise till we tire
Say look at us makin'
Where you can hide we plan
Makin' it makin' out
Let's get wild a wee bit
We'll hustle us a drag
This Chevy burns rubber
Beats the Fords all but one
We'll win. The dance is hot
Edge of town music flows
Friday night after that
Can last until the morn
Smiling light Sun is ours
Babe won't you please say yes
You'll take a ride with me
Friday nights can get wild

I'm linked with Kerry O'Connor at the Imaginary Garden with Real Toads, Play it Again, Toads, http://withrealtoads.blogspot.com/2016/09/play-it-again-toads.html
There Kerry gave us three choice of writing prompts from time past. I chose
Music with Marian ~ A Walk on the Wild Side (November 2013) where Marian gave us a reminder of the works of Lou Reed and asked that we write a piece showing our thoughts after reading of Lou and his writings. Some of his were a bit shocking though perhaps one of your favorite 'Oldies' is his work.
I liked him. You might recognize one of Lou's after reading mine here.
Babe won't you please say yes

This brings it back to the good 'young'days with lots of wishful thinking!

This would make a great song, Jim. I like the upbeat tempo of the lines, and who does not recall the wild times without a touch of nostalgia?
ReplyDeleteWhoa, Jim--this is a pretty hot poem--it would make a great song as Kerry says! Thanks! k.
ReplyDeleteI like the way it sings a happy song, rather than the gritty one I knew best... Yes it would make a great song.
ReplyDeleteI really like this. :)
ReplyDeleteI echo outlawyer's comment!This poem sizzles. Ooooh, I dig it,
ReplyDeleteAh, cruisin' - till they barricaded the streets. Can you believe it?
