Vinnie's Front Porch - Post #229

Little ditty, about Vinnie’s front porch
Three kids just trying to avoid the summer sun’s scorch
Vinnie likes movies, Iona’s got a crush
Danica’s just trying to forget the one that she loved

Sitting on that front porch, on three lawn chairs
Speculating ‘bout the mystery house and what it’s doing there
Vinnie say, "Please decease!” and they laugh like they’re okay
That’s what this porch is for, an escape from the fray

Say uh, oh yeah, things go wrong
But we’ll still have that porch, these friends, and this song
Say uh, oh yeah, things go wrong
But we’ll still have that porch, these friends, and this song.
We sing on.

They sit back, try and think of some new names.
They come up with some weird ones, but at least they’re happy.
Donatello “Donnie” Jeeves Ferguson-Pesce,
Margaret Philipa and Joyce Bernadette.
Donnie say uh,

Oh yeah, things go wrong
But we’ll still have that porch, these friends, and this song
Say uh, oh yeah, you know things go wrong
But we’ll still have that porch, these friends, and this song.

Gotta make it stop, make it go
Let it all out, and we’ll help you glow
Holding on to these days as long as we can
Vinnie goes away real soon, no more porch for us then.

Say uh, oh yeah, things go wrong
But we’ll still have that porch, these friends, and this song
Say uh, oh yeah, you know things go wrong
But we’ll still have that porch, these friends, and this song.

To John Mellencamp's "Jack and Diane".

I can't believe I just did that.
