Era Lost

Originality

On a thin thread

As though the spool

Has dropped into the pool

Half loaded

On Jack Daniels

Southern Comfort

Southkeys Key Lime

Lemonade and Vodka

Unable to think

Of a witty remark

Saved from a shark

Deep end diving

Marco Polo

No running on the deck

Time to take a head count

Buddy system never fails

Splitting sundaes and gingerails

Chocolate popsicles

Dripping down our fingers

Sticky fingers

Touching everything

On the way to the sink

It really makes me think

Of the first time I ever

Drank Dr.Pepper pop

The summer I never wanted

To see the end of

Another era lost

Like a faded sunburn

When I thought

That sting

Would last

Like everything

That kept changing
