LAWN CHAIR THEATRE

yep, we forgot about taking the chairs
on that crisp fall evening's outting
or that it would be a local tribute
to good ole Hank Williams night
what really mattered most then was
the warm way you held me so close
while we rocked to the show's music

I don't remember a one of the songs
but I do remember well as we swayed
lost in each other on the back row
the needy feel of your lips on mine
and arms tighter around me in hugs
as the band finished each number
then again, Hank was gone too soon
