Along came Sally.

They had grown up together, playing hide and seek in the neighborhood,
Her first bike ride, he was there, urging her to ride on, she fell off and dint cry,
Her first day in school, he was there, he kept all the bullies at bay, he never left her sight,
Her first hike, she was 16, he drugged her to the top, took a snap together, she looked like hell,
They made a friendship pact, best friends for life,
 Best friends was great, until sally came along.



When sally came along, everything changed,
Sally came and made her share, share her best friend for the first time,
Sally made her feel, negligible, dispensable and most of all vulnerable,
She saw the way he looked at Sally, in a way he never looked at her,
She saw him trip over himself trying, trying to win over Sally,
She saw him fall in love, and she dint like it,



She despised sally…”why she had to come along and make her feel this way”?
Every moment and every time spent around him was different now,
Every time he appeared, her stomach would get all tied up in knots,
Every time he held her hand, they would get all drippy with sweat,
Every time he dropped by, she would stand still like a robot,
Every time he called her buddy, and sally sweetie, she would flip,



She hated the stories he told sally about her,
About her first bike ride, her first day in school and her first hike,
About him urging her to ride on, fighting off the bullies, and her funny picture from the hike,
About the friendship pact they made, best friends for life,
Best friends wasn’t great, she wanted more,
She wanted to be his sweetie, his sally.

YOUNG TODAY!

Young girl, I was young just like you,
I wore that skirt, some inches shorter,
Went out at night and stayed a little bit longer,
I had fan with Tom, Dick and even Rodgers,
Then came Harry, Alice, Martin, and their forth born Thomas,
Young one I didn’t think about today, now I look way too older.



I  have learnt that tomorrow is only a day away,
Tomorrow things could take a turn,
The employee today, the employer tomorrow,
Today the teacher, tomorrow the student,
Today the slave, tomorrow the master,
Young one I learnt that tomorrow is a reflection of today.



A coin well spent today, could feed you tomorrow,
I remember Harry had some coins; he bought a Chevy and drove off with Candy,
Mike had some coins too; he bought some land, and saved the rest for a rainy,
I heard Harry is in town, his car ran down and rusty ,
Not so with Mike, he sold off his land for a fortune,
Young girls please don’t ride off with the Harries.



Sure tomorrow is not promised; no need to be too cautious,
Today’s guaranteed, yes live like there’s, no tomorrow,
I guess what am trying to say, if you do get to see tomorrow,
You won’t look back and wish, you had it any different today.
Young one yes live for today but don’t forget tomorrow.
