Nothing By Night Poem by Joe Howell

We went down that ole country road
with the window's rolled down
and my sleeves rolled up
Looking for a cool place to play

We found a creek,
by a turn in the road
no one for miles
we were all alone

And there it stopped, my mind left me
sitting hot and dry.
I saw the moon, the clouds at night
but it did nothing, I could not write

Took a walk out by the shed
stood by the old oak tree
rubbed my rabbit's foot
but nothing would enter my head
