The Spirit Of Youth (Cans Of Stella) Poem by Vincent S. Coster

The Spirit Of Youth (Cans Of Stella)



Youthful exuberance
In hoodies and tartan caps
Wild
Rabid
I will beat you because
My girlfriend thinks I'm hard
With my tracksuits
And my Nike kicks
Bottles of Stella
Ella
Ella
Ay
Ay
Ay
Drinking my cans of Stella
