[bodytext] => Father’s dread the day When their daughters turn a certain age Skinny stems transformed into mature flowers Slipping away into maturity And too big to rock on Daddy’s knee In the back of their minds they secretly hope For age to make them a little bit ugly To keep away the boys with fast cars They can hear them coming down the street The bass thumps hypnotically Music too loud for old ears As the engine roars its arrival They drive away innocence In their back seats The only traces left behind Are the tracks of burnt rubber They steal away their daughters With loud music and adolescent charms Hair that curls and eyes that howl Love masked in good looks and smiles For they know the door to a girl’s bedroom Is unlocked through her heart And just as fast as they arrive They are quick to leave Father’s know the game well The fresh scent of teen spirit For in them is the subtle truth They were once one of them Before a father they were a boy On to the next conquest Found in the passenger seats Of boys with fast cars [comments] => 1 [counter] => 146 [topic] => 43 [informant] => zedwards [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )
