MARACAS

POEM...

LET ME TELL YOU THE STORY OF TWO GUYS
WHO IN THEIR YOUTH USED TO SERENADE
THE SAME GIRL
TIME SEPARATED THEM AND IT WAS ALSO TIME
THAT BROUGHT THEM BACK TOGETHER AGAIN
AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED AT THEIR REUNION

Buddy, come on, let me buy you a drink
Nah, I don’t drink anymore, thanks
You don’t drink? Alright, I’ll get you a coffee
Okay
I want to remember the wild times
From back when we were 16
So, tell me, what happened with your wife?
Um, we got divorced
She definitely left you for being unfaithful
Remember how I used to send her roses?
But she fell for your carnation more
That’s how it is

We used to serenade together
Together at that balcony
You with the guitar and me with maracas
She was 15 and we were 16
We used to serenade together
Together at that balcony
I had the guitar and you had maracas
She was 15 and we were 16

Just because you’re my friend, I’ll confess
What’s up?
I got divorced but I never forgot her
I miss her gaze and I dream of her coming back
I love her more than when I married her

Let’s serenade together
(No, it’s not worth it)
They need to know this
I had the guitar and you had maracas
Win her over, love her
Like when we were 16

Let’s serenade together
Together at that balcony
You with the guitar and me with maracas
Win her over, love her
Like when we were 16
Like when we were 16
Like when we were 16
