Reminds of:
FIRST TIMES
by Joel Mabus
My first car… was little and yellow and rusty as a bucket, it was
My first car… my first feel of a real live automobile.
Fill ‘er up with oil and check the gas,
Step on the pedal – let everybody pass.
It didn’t go fast or far; it was my first car.
My first drink… was down in the basement with my buddies, it was
My first drink…my first time with a sweet red bottle of wine.
Taste so funny, just made me grin,
Laugh so hard till the room began to spin –
And it wound up in the sink – it was my first drink.
First times ain’t the best times – Sometimes they’re the worst.
But if times are gonna get better – There’s always got to be a first.
My first kiss… was out on the back porch with my neighbor, it was
My first kiss… my first taste of a teen-age, feminine lip.
She closed her eyes, I closed mine,
Our hearts beat fast as our young arms entwined –
Then her braces chipped my tooth – it was my first smooch.
My first gig… a nineteen-seventies college-town restaurant –
My first gig… sing all night for a meal and a ten dollar bill.
The crowd was loud – they couldn’t care less –
Just made a lot of noise and stupid-ass requests –
Alice Cooper was big – at my first gig.
And if this here is the first time you’ve ever heard me sing,
Well, stick around – it might get better – First times don’t mean a thing.
….except your first times are the coolest!
Love it! I bet that list could be so much longer too. And how fantastic for me getting to share one of those with you!
Welllll I’d been in a tuk-tuk earlier but didn’t have a photo. But that was a fun ride through the alleys of Chiang Mai!
