I'm just a writing fool
I write all of the time
I use words as tools
I find them drifting through my mind
I gather all that I can
I turn them into rhymes
I lay them down for others to find

I write about this, and I write about that
Some fiction and some fact
I have fun with a friend or two
You never know if I'm writing about you

I'll take you back and make you smile
from a thought, you haven't thought for a while
It's just me, the writing fool
taking you back to the days of high school

Go on and hold it, enjoy the feel
Once upon a time when everything was real
Those days are gone, but we'll see more
Some day I'll be standing at your front door

I'm just a writing fool
I use my words as tools
I lay them down for you to find
What do you think, am I out of my mind?

Cruising in the tank along the french creek bank
We had great times that memories hold
It wasn't fun that night, but now we laugh with delite
when we had to push the tank in the freezing cold

Headlights shining under the ice
We learned once; there was never a twice
That's the truth the story still holds today
They lost the car under the bridge over french creek bay

Now is that fiction or is it true?
I leave it entirely up to you
There's still a few that can testify
You'll see it in their eyes
The eyes never lie

Faces glowing from the campfire light
under a star-filled sky on a perfect river night
Familiar smiles aged with time
Forever young in heart and mind

I'm just a writing fool
I can't help but write
It's the only thing I do at night
I don't need a topic
Any thought will do
That's when I lay them down for you

Bette and her brownies surrounded by the crew
Laughing with every bite, she would chew
Penny's from heaven; she always comes through
Not only does it taste good, but it's also good for you

Life took a turn when Em arrived
Someone was found that someone tried to hide
Now everyone else is off to the side
Emily and I have each other inside

I'm just a writing fool
Collecting thoughts while floating in my pool
Laying down words in rhyming lines
that takes us to another time
