Sweet music on the Mustang’s radio We’re sitting in her parents’ driveway And sort of talking about the movie And sort of talking about poetry and life Frost is settling on the hood of the car But all is warm in our bubble of love Until Our kiss is interrupted by the flickering Of the parental, watchful front porch light We sigh. We kiss. The censorial eye - It orders me away  - “That’s all! Bye-bye!”                       (Oh, flick that porch light anyway!)

The Porch Light Flickers in Parental Disapproval
Sweet music on the Mustang’s radio We’re sitting in her parents’ driveway And sort of talking about the movie And sort of talking about poetry and life Frost is settling on the hood of the car But all is warm in our bubble of love Until Our kiss is interrupted by the flickering Of the parental, watchful front porch light We sigh. We kiss. The censorial eye - It orders me away  - “That’s all! Bye-bye!”                       (Oh, flick that porch light anyway!)
