Analysis of Interlude on a Snowy Evening



Whose park this is I'm sure I know.
The houses are in the city though;
Hopefully we aren't seen halting here
To fill up the windows with a glow.

A little jostle, keep the car in gear
To stop and have a little fun here
Between the park and emergency brake
The hottest adventure of the year.

And my legs and yours begin to shake
This is far from a bad mistake.
Our loving sound's sultry heat
Prevents the snow from forming a flake.

And you are lovely, and I am deep.
But flashes of red and blue us do make weep,
Tough to explain our rocking jeep,
And tough to explain our rocking jeep.
