The thing about band boys is...

I just found this poem that I wrote quite a few years ago about boys in bands. Enjoy!


The thing about band boys is...

They are fun to look at but not to date

Their music is great, but they’re always late

Their hair is cool, and they’re style sweet but somehow they manage to hit on every girl they meet

Sure they’ll write you on myspace but never call

Their life is going great unless their band takes a fall

You come to see their shows, but they don’t care

You’re a small concern compared to what they’ll wear

They’re poor as dirt and sometimes they smell

And rarely do they ever come out of their “I’m a rock star” shell

After the tours have ended and the music stops

You finally see that band boys don’t really rock

Fruit of the Earth

Taste this sweet red plum

And let its juice run

Down your young, fair face

‘Til you feel joy come.

Peel a peach with teeth

Like a shark to prey.

Eat ‘til there is bone

And your skin smells sweet.

Crunch a ripe pear slice

‘Tween stone-hard white teeth

And bite through its shell

To find what is nice.

Take fruit off the tree

Each day and be free.
