Club No More

In all honesty, she couldn’t remember the last time she had gone to a club 
At least not voluntarily wanting to shake her groove thang 
With a group of people bumping in to her, spilling drinks everywhere 
And the incessant pump of the bass from the speakers 
That would just cause the ice in drinks to rattle against the glass
She was totally over that 

But being in need for some extra cash 
She dove back in
Not to take on the role of a fabulous bottle girl 
But play police officer and make sure 
That those who wanted to party paid up before stepping in 

And she just couldn’t believe it 
The party kids inside ranged from 18 with a possible fake id 
To 22 and that was pushing it 
But there were a few older men who were just weird 
For crashing this childrens party 

But what really got to her was the conversations she heard
What did these young girls know about serious relationships 
When they were barely out of high school 
Talking about certain matters with a sense of pride 
As if that’s what made the grown ups 

And so she wondered if that was her a few years ago 
But probably not 
Because generations have changed 
As have social standards of communication 
Now it’s all about the gram and looking good for the camera 

Once upon a time, it was more about enjoying the moment 
And hoping you were able to take a few pictures with your point & shoot 
So that you can laugh at the proof of what happened 

But times, they are a changing 
And yes she will probably say the same 
It makes for good stores 
And good laughs 
About how she at times feels like everyone’s mother 
Or really just happens to act like it…
