a new part time jobs produces a bad part time poet...

the night before prom and all through the shop
all the teenage creatures were stirring and moving about
the boy were all spiffy in their tux jackets and tails,
the girls were a glitter, without a single pout

their parents were watching as their children dressed for the affair.
as the glimmer of limo, flowers and parties dance in their heads

as i settle down after a hard days work,
it is nice to reflect on this magic moment in the high school years
these kids all come in with the future in their hands
and the anticipation is almost more than they can stand

tomorrow there will be pictures and prom kings and queens
an evening to remember many years from now
and a day of work that we did well.

sorry to subject you all to this cornball thing, but i got on a roll and could not stop;)
