I wouldn't encourage the young to get wild on a Saturday night since that is a quick way for the woman to become pregnant and the man to have to lay down his money for the rest of his life to a woman he just met who will now become his wife and they will raise this lovechild even though the both of them had other plans. So you see, the dreams of the youth are spoiled when they don't think first before acting irrationally and losing their plans for their future.

    I do not see the humor in that fact.

This is typical of our young people these days. In my teenage years we had to be 21 to get in the door. Of course we were much more reserved. Today it's wham bam, thank you ma'am and then they go home.

This work has reached the exceptional level

This poem expresses the euphoria of weekend night out especially among the young people. Many are blinded by the excitement of the night and never see the dangers of uncontrolled pleasure. Well done, dear Harry. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

[rating revised up after edits made by author]
This poem attempts to capture the energy of a weekend night out with young friends. The picture is effective and the words are direct to their purpose. For it to capture that feeling for the typical reader, this poem would benefit from some proofreading to eliminate distractions. Please message me back after attending to the following edits and I will add a star.

your minds as foggy <= missing a possessive apostrophe -- should be: mind's

cause you ain't got no pain <= just pointing out that young folks in this environment tend to be unaware that others live with pain, and the absence of pain is probably the last thing on their mind. Rather, they are thinking of the prospect of something exciting happening.

you feel like getting' <= this has an apostrophe to indicate an abbreviation, but there is no letter missing. Guessing you meant to write: gettin'

she's gonna' love you tonight <= gonna is a changed spelling of "going to", so it does not require an apostrophe

cause you know she
is going to expose her charm <= this reads oddly in English. I'm not sure what you mean? It sounds a bit too similar to "expose herself", that is, show you her private parts. I would stay away from that implication, and write something different, especially since this is the last line. For example, something like:

she takes you by the arm
enchanting you with her charm

Hope this is helpful, and again, message me if you make edits so I can re-review. Thanks for the read,

🦍

Minds should be: mind is or mind's
That sexy wink maybe should be a sexy wink.
An easy read and a good picture.
I would delete the last verse.
Thanks for sharing.

I think you expressed the feelings that come with drinking alcohol really well in your piece. We definitely all feel more confident when we've had a few to drink and you conveyed that well here. I really liked the smooth flow of your writing. I really enjoyed it.

Oh boy... you caught me! Well, about fifty years or so ago that would be.

There were many wild knights, young and stupid!

Nothing has changed in all the decades. Thank you for posting and allowing me to reminisce.

Cheers,
John

Harry,

This is an excellent free verse poem that perfectly describes the freewheeling lifestyle of young people getting wild on a Saturday night!

All the best,
