Friday Night Down the Legion Now can't you hear the call, come one and all Be you big or small, even if you got to crawl There's a knock-down brawl behind the Legion hall Come one and all Seems something was said, about Gideon's shed Made old Gideon see red, and he lost his head He busted Carney's head for what he said About Gideon's shed A lovely bit of heel and toe, don't be slow or its to your knees you'll go, don't you know Can't tell friend from foe, kick em in the crows Don't be slow We're drawing a crowd, getting real loud down goes McLeod, as to his girl he bowed he was just too proud, and he got plowed Its' getting real loud Insults then fists flew, a right hullabaloo Eyes turned black and blue, teeth knocked askew When its done what's to do, but to laugh and share a brew a right hullabaloo Nothin's better than a fight on a Friday night And its a true delight, though we look a sight Give just an imagined slight, and it'll reignite On a Friday night Maddy |

Your signature surely exemplifies this poem, Maddy - This is about real life - That's what it's all about. I'll look forward to reading more of your work. Welcome to Passions, and check your email for a special greeting...  |

I had a real good laugh at this...So true so true Life on a Friday night-- sometimes Saturday all sitting around the counter sharing a cup of mud (or the hair of what bit us--perhaps screech) and laughing of the night before Kathy Life is a story waiting to happen..Go on.... Create, Live and Love |

hehehe, Is there popcorn available? hahaha.. I don't really believe in fighting, but you made it sound entertaining like a boxing match. I could see the whole thing happening. I think people should just try to talk it out, but there are times it just doesn't work out that way and it's like a boxing match. Anyways fun write.. Fun one!!!  SharaRose @-->-- p.s. i see you are from Nova Scotia...Lucky you. I have always wanted to go there and see the lighthouses. Lovely place it must be.  Of sound, and speech let all lift the hearer!

Oh my gosh Maddy I roared when I read this and ran downstairs to get my hubby to read it. We both grew up in small town New Hampshire the this type of Friday night was a commonplace. Only excitment for miles around! Beer and whiskey flowing and fists flying!!! Thank you for a trip down memory lane! Huggles, Marti Hear Blessings dropping their blossoms all around you. |

  (big hugggsssssss) I too don't believe in fighting but this is realistic everywhere on many Friday nights with friends and strangers in parties and you captivate the atmosphere so well, this is an excellent debut, I love it! Welcome to Passions, sweet Maddy, may you be inspired by all of us here as we will all be inspired by your lovely words! I can't wait to read more of your excellent poetry, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Maddy, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |

Hi Maddy, it’s nice to meet you. This reminds me of the time there was this riot, and a hockey game broke out! Wooo Hooo! No wonder them guys are all missing their teef. Sounds like one heck of a donnybrook. Sorry I missed it... lol The only thing I did last Friday, was sit around in my shorts, and watch a fly die on my chin...(!) This was so fun! Looking forward to reading more of your writing, Richy |
