A Carefree Evening

Carefree evening

Arriving for a concert in the park
I set up my blue lawn chair
Pulled out my cool water bottle
A sun hat covering my hair

The green grass closely manicured
Warmth from the sun on my face
I sit back, relax, think back in time
When the British Invasion took place

Time ticking backward reveals
Nehru jackets and hip hugger jeans
aqua net  hairspray and breck shampoo
Screaming teenage girls, such a scene

The band takes the outside stage
Donning Beatles haircuts and attire
Singing I wanna hold your hand
Setting grey-haired girls hearts on fire
