Darlene Broke My Heart

I remember Darlene, what a beautiful girl.
She had just everything. Her hair in a curl,
dark brown, supple, shining and so smooth.
Sweet, soft, sexy she was. I knew the truth,
though. She only used me.
She broke my heart.

To drive-in movies and on long rides we went,
these fantasy trips became my love's lament.
So tender, so gentle did she ask for this and that,
all the while I thought I was a cool cat.
How bad can it be?
She broke my heart.

At school, in my Model A or eating, we sat together,
she was as unpredictable as the weather.
Until Sandy came in, I was gone on Darlene,
then I found out she was just plain mean.
Love is fickle, now I see!
She broke my heart.

Vapor Trails in the Sky

Vapor trails in the sky,
Silvery in the afternoon,
Soon to disappear,
Silently,
Walking,
Wispy,
Wondrous,
Wandering slowly,
Straight across the sky.

Vapor trails in the sky,
They surely catch the eye,
Wonderful in their shining,
Silvery as a silken thread,
Slowly,
Willowy,
Winding,
Whipping,
In the wind,
Straight across the sky.

Vapor trails in the sky,
Up so very high,
They seem eerie,
And indescribable,
Wondrous,
Wanting,
Waiting,
For What?
To be Blown away,
Straight across the sky.
