Shake It Baby

Ah, the late afternoon!
Such a beautiful time of day
Except at our place

Please close the door
Go out or stay in
But please don't stand there
With the door open
It's cold outside
The heat is on
Thank you

Nervous energy
Fills the whole house
Drumming fingers
First one hand
Then the other
Then both
Drumming 
DRUMMING
Faster, faster, FASTER

Shaking out hands
As if shaking off something
First one hand
Then the other
Then both
Shaking
SHAKING
Faster, faster, FASTER
It's a wonder they're still attached

Up and down go the knees
First one
Then the other
Then both
Faster, faster, FASTER
The table is shaking so hard
It's bouncing
The drinks are flying out of their cups
It feels like an earthquake in here

I don't who needs the meds more
Him
Or me
Waiting for 7:30 to arrive
This is usually over by then
It's been going on for two hours already
Two hours to go...
Somebody help me
