“Take me to the river”

I don't know why I love her like I do
All the changes you put me through
Take my money, my cigarettes
I haven't seen the worst of it yet

I wanna know, can you tell me?
I'd love to stay

Take me to the river, drop me in the water
Take me to the river, dip me in the water
Washing me down, washing me down

I don't know why you treat me so bad
Think of all the things we could have had
Love is a notion that I can't forget
My sweet sixteen I would never regret

I wanna know, can you tell me?
I'd love to stay

Take me to the river, drop me in the water
Push me in the river, dip me in the water
Washing me down, washing me

Hug me, squeeze me, love me, tease me
Till I can't, till I can't, till I can't take no more

Dip me to the water, drop me in the river
Push me in the water, drop me in the river
Washing me down, washing me down

I don't know why I love you like I do
All the troubles you put me through
Sixteen candles there on my wall
And here am I, the biggest fool of them all

I wanna know, can you tell ...

“Rule Followers”

Rule Followers!

I follow rules for the most part.
I’ve been known to cross against the light when there was no traffic.
Although I’m with a group that would wait 20 minutes for a ‘walk’ sign, regardless of traffic.

We pulled into the old Agency Parking lot.
I received the command “find a shady spot with a table!”
I complied, the closest spot to it was a handicap spot.
We have a placard, but it wasn’t easily accessible.

“We need to move or get our permit.”
“No, there’s at least 100 spots, 10
of which are handicap. We are fine. If a park ranger wants to write us a ticket, I’ll move.”

My lovely mother in law went to sit in the car while we walked the little tour path.
She couldn’t stand it, she had to dig out the placard and put it on the dash.
