Another Episode

The teenage boy across the street
broke our front window yesterday.
He tried to catapult his friend
but as a stunt it went astray.

Another episode of Jack Ass,
here on Parkway Avenue.
Adolescents flying through the air,
and there are things they fly into.

The mood was calm as we relaxed
when suddenly we heard a boom.
We both jumped up from kitchen chairs
to find a youngster in our room.

Another episode of Jack Ass,
teenage armament extant.
Things they do are boggling our mind,
never, ever say that they can’t.

Goodbye old window pane,
(I hope it doesn’t rain,
at least until I get new glass.)
They made a catapult,
our house they did assault,
I need a drink of something strong.

We helped him up from off the rug
and picked the glass from his blonde hair.
He went to wave at his friend Jack
but suddenly friendship was rare.

Another Episode of Jack Ass,
lots of get-up on the go.
Once a pane of glass between it all,
now the pain is so apropos.
