The Outing
The boys were out today
It may last the night
They'd called in sick that morn
Didn't tell their wives
(Shorty riding back
didn't have a wife)
It was a topdown day
Sunshine and pumpkins
Fall days meant for outings
Drive eat drink a bit
(They'd be seaside
by afternoon)
Swim and surf spread the food
Shorty's cooler packed
Girl's on blanket next to
Invited them
(Didn't last long
our married men)
Evening was coming near
Drive into the town
Cruised the streets until ten
Yes, they'd called their wives
(Memories aroused
Like olden days)
Moonlight driving back home
Day to remember
One like when they were young
Needed get away
(Shorty's flowers
for the two wives)

- NOTE: I have been told that the picture's person in the back seat is a lady. I believe that is right but had thought it was a guy. I wrote for Shorty being a guy holding flowers for the others' wives. Sorry.
- I like the picture or I would remove it?? Maybe I'd best buy a computer, I write with my Galaxy 8 smart phone.
