Boy's on the Loose -- a Poem for The Sunday Muse # 131

. 

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.

  2. Don't know how to tell you "Shorty" is a girl, but I love your story of guys out on the town. Seems they behaved well. Their wives will be proud!
