Kids on the Corner

A poetic entry for "Invalid Item"  3/15/10.

Kids on the corner with nothing to do,
Thinking up mischief till spring break is through.
Blue skies and sunshine, with time on their hands,
Too cold for fishing or working on tans.

They ride to Joe's Place and shoot some eight ball.
That soon gets boring, so on to the mall.
They lock up their bikes near Bobby's Arcade,
Drop in their quarters, shoot, run and evade.

Their money's all gone, so out comes their cell,
Text to their buddies and girfriends as well.
Complain they are bored and ask them, "What's new?"
Kids on the corner with nothing to do.
