Slow Down Charlie Brown Poem by Coolwater Menstruums Shannon Daron Strauss

THE FASTEST THING YOU EVER SAW

IM TALKING ABOUT LOVE; ONE DAY IT'S HERE THE NEXT DAY IT'S GONE

GETTING CAUGHT UP IN YOUR FEELINGS TOO QUICK JUST ISN'T IT

THE SAME LOVE THATS HOLDS AND SQUEEZES YOU, AND WON'T LET GO
IS THE SAME LOVE YOU CAN'T GET

BY TOMMORROW ITS GONNA RAIN POSSIBLY EVEN SNOW

SO PREPARE YOURSELF FOR THE EARLY SEASON BEFORE YOU GET CAUGHT IN THE COLD

DON'T BE TOO QUICK TO MAKE A SUDDEN CHANGE BECAUSE I AM AN OUTSIDER LOOKING IN

IT'S JUST I TOO AM AN EASYRIDER THAT WILL EASILY BEND

I BEEN THERE; DONE THAT

AND I WAS LAID FLAT.... FLATLINED INFACT

I THOUGHT I DIED

WHEN I FOUND OUT HER LOVE WAS ON THE OTHER SIDE

I WAS SO QUICK TO JUMP AND FETCH A PALE YOU'D THINK MY NAME WAS JUMPING JACK

AND TO MAKE IT SO BAD.... SHE DIDN'T HAVE TO ASK

IT WAS LOVE; I WAS HER BROTHER FROM ANOTHER

BY THE POWERS OF TELEPATHY I KNEW WHAT IT WAS

ATLEAST I THOUGHT, UNTIL I FOUND OUT I WAS JUST CAUGHT IN A WEB OF LIES, THEN IT GOT REAL

WHEN THE JAIL HOUSE HOUSE MIRROR SAID, QUITE FRANKLY BOY WHO CARES HOW YOU FEEL.

LOVE DON'T LOVE YOU; LOVE DON'T LOVE NOBODY, YOU MUST BE THE FAMILY FOOL

DIDN'T YOU LEARN ANYTHING IN SCHOOL

DIDN'T YOU MOMMY TEACH YOU HOW TO POTTY; MAKE SURE YOU GOT PAPER BEFORE YOUR NUMBER TWO

WELL THERE IT IS.... GOT TO REMIND YOU LIKE KIDS

I GUESS YOU SHOULD'VE PAID ATTENTION TO WHEN THE TEACHER SAID

MWA MWA MWA!

GO AHEAD BE THE CLOWN.... OR SLOW DOWN CHARLIE BROWN
