Beach Blanket Bingo

Beach Blanket Bingo (The Fab Five) B etty Lou, beautiful Katherine, and E leanor, Nellie Sue and Bethany A ll playing Bingo, on blankets in sand, C hatted away, happy girls by the sea, H eaven-sent sun beaming high in the sky. B ethany said, “Girls, suck tummies in. L ook. Over there is a really cute guy! A lso, we really should show him some skin!” N ellie Sue said, “And he has four friends too!” K atherine quickly adjusted her hair. E leanor said, “Girls, you know what to do.” T hey took off their beach wraps and made those men stare! B ob and his friends asked to join the game. I n minutes each lady was paired with a guy. N o worries. Just good times. Always the same. G olden girls shine like the sun in the sky. O ld ladies, still young at heart, the fab five! by Andrea Dietrich Inspired by Linda-Marie's "Beach Blanket Bingo" Contest

A fun read! So convincing that if you told me these people were real, I would believe you! Are they? Would they be my friends too? Sounds like good times, good times...

Sounds like fun. Please don't mind if I look on. I'm really quite harmless - can't run, talk to myself, drool once in a while, forget constantly, Let's see? Where were we? Love, daver

Ah, gives me hope that there is still time to find a man like one of your fab five, Andrea. You did a great job with the rewrite. Awesome entry for the contest and I wish you success. As for Brian's contest, I can't find the results. Love,Carolyn

cool story! reminds me of my playin' days back on the coast of S.Cacakalack! Shaggin' on Ocean Blvd! Ahh, the glory days. Hey we (men)suck in our abs too! BTW I appreciate the very encouraging comments from you on my poem open sores. Sometimes I get discouraged on here bc i think people don't always read my stuff but rather make comments in order to get "bonus pts' or something. I feel this whole sharing poetry thing should be more about the true art. your comment was genuine. thanks
