“’FATOOTIN’ IN THE PARK”
by
Bill Charles
~~~~
I was out walking late one night, underneath a full moon,
and took a little shortcut, through the park…
Darn if I didn’t come upon, these two little critters,
that looked as if they were ‘fatootin’, in the dark…

Now that’s a funny vocable, that can mean many things,
I can imagine what’s on your mind, after seeing this new word…
Wondering if you ever heard it, before and where,
and if you had perhaps, thought it was absurd…

But I really don’t believe that, because of whence it came,
is from out of a book namely,  BC’s Slanguage Dictionarious…
It’s just one of many, that has been entered over the years,
but this one is something different, for it’s somewhat precarious…

I wonder and ponder, if I should just keep you guessing,
about what the word really means, especially late at night…
But just you all remember, I saw them doing it,
and it was during that fateful evening, when it was pretty bright…

So if you’re ever walking late at night, under the full moon,
and take that little shortcut, through the park…
Perhaps you’ll also see, those two little critters,
just ‘fatootin’, - there - , in the dark…

Now BC - you know what the word means, you saw them "doing it".

"I wonder and ponder, if I should just keep you guessing, about what the word really means, especially late at night…

Are you going to tell us?????????????????????
