The Girls of Worcester

The girls of Worcester Mass.,
making our short training tour
in 1957 Fort Devens bearable.
There was a dance hall there.    
Public formal dancing is almost 
unknown in the South.

    Didn't realize you were around for that long. I like the way you used rhyme to illestrate the dialect.
