Never Going Back There Again

Verse 1: Back when everyone played Pokémon Go! We took the MRT to places unknown, Hunting Pokémon we’d never seen, But got sidetracked by stray cats so keen In a condo with grass so green. Chorus: We roamed the streets, chasing Pokémon, Lost track of time, our fun had just begun, From stray cats and laughs, under the sun, These little adventures are never done. Verse 2: Old paint, dead grass, and dirt so deep, Cats peeking out where shadows sleep, “Oh so cute!” you said with a grin, Tabbies and spots, where to begin? We lost track of time and missed our lunch. Chorus: We roamed the streets, chasing Pokémon, Lost track of time, our fun had just begun, From stray cats and laughs, under the sun, These little adventures are never done. Verse 3: Heat and hunger had us feeling low, We headed to a mall to take it slow, Found a place to eat, but your face went pale, “I smell something bad!” you began to wail, I couldn’t find a scent, was it all in your head? Chorus: We roamed the streets, chasing Pokémon, Lost track of time, our fun had just begun, From stray cats and laughs, under the sun, These little adventures are never done. Verse 4: We changed booths, but the smell remained, You grumbled and fumed, your mood had waned, On the train ride home, your anger grew, Until I thought of a clue to pursue. Verse 5: “Uh, hun, did you check your shoe?” Your face went white as you looked askew, The sight was clear, and others turned away, I couldn’t stop laughing, it made my day. Chorus: Back in the day when we chased those Pokémon, Lost track of time with stray cats and fun, From a shoe mishap to our laugh-out-loud day, We’ll always remember that time in our own way. Verse 6: I watched you search for a twig and dig, Laughing quietly, doing a jig, You were right, we never went back there, But those memories, we cherish and share. Chorus: Back in the day when we chased those Pokémon, Lost track of time with stray cats and fun, From a shoe mishap to our laugh-out-loud day, We’ll always remember that time in our own way.
