"Homecoming and Going"

Jump into my car and head down to the field,
Ran through a stop sign, didn't even yield.
Tonight's the night homecoming king and queen will be revealed.

The winner's announced, the football game won,
Then it was time to have a little fun.
Went to Brain Freeze to get something to feed on.

Found my boyfriend in all of the crowd.
We went down my street to a small playground.
Then my dad called and said, "This late isn't allowed."

Woke up seven-thirty in the morning,
Went straight to practice, giving daddy no warning.
Two-hours later, got to take a short showering.

Breakfast on the go because mommy was here,
We went to get our nails done somewhere near.
A light shade of gray, as it appears.

Put on one dress and grabbed the other.
Headed up to Sparta, orders from my mother,
We were to celebrate the birthday of my Grandfather.

To be there at four, and dinner at six,
I just kept thinking I'm in a huge fix.
Thankfully, I had my bag full of tricks.

Left slightly early to head to the school.
My car and I were running out of fuel.
I'll make the dance, it'll all be cool.

Make it there with an hour to spare,
But as I change my dress tears.
Drive quickly back home, now what do I wear?















Freaking out, my dad was trying to be very kind.
Put on the next best dress that I can find.
Make it back quick so I can unwind.

Danced with my boyfriend and friends, too.
Night didn't turn out to be so blue.
Just wish I had more hours before the day was through.

Busy day, just like the rest.
Did not realize it too would not be my best.
Just very happy I got through this test.
