What about tonight I said? <br />The big box in the window <br />My mum is short on money again <br />I feel that it's a sin though <br /> <br />We'll go tonight, <br />Stand outside shops <br />You’re on guard <br />Incase of cops <br /> <br />I burst through the door <br />Elderly couple, surprise <br />Fall from step what a blunder <br />Grab the box noise like thunder <br /> <br />Turn to see if couples gaining <br />Disbelief, faces remaining <br />Turn handle wrong way <br />Fight with it until I stray <br /> <br />Where's my school friend lookout <br />Half way up the hill <br />Wait for me I start to shout <br />Couple, still at till <br /> <br />We ran and ran, fools us both, up hill <br />Regret and relief set in <br />My Mothers Birthday tomorrow <br />Regret and relief turn to sorrow <br /> <br />Next morning I awake <br />To see mum eat evidence <br />How could you afford such a gift? <br />I feel it’s far from providence <br /> <br />Oh if I could turn back the clock <br />And tell that boy 'No Way' <br />Or teach about a conscience <br />That might keep him from going astray.<br /><br />duncan wyllie<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/chocolates-and-tears-and-crazy-years/
