Clickety Clickety Clickety Click

Strappy white sandals with heavy heels
Clicking on the hood of his
1959 Pink Cadillac with the pink tailfins

Tappy Tappy Tap Tap Tap
If you think I am cute, your eyes can clap
Clickety Clickety Clickety Click. I am darling. My smile so thick.

He is sixteen, totally enthralled, 
Ignoring the fact that his pride and joy car
will never be the same

It is our first date
I still have this pair of strappy clickety clack sandals
The ones I used to dance in the moonlight showing my cuteness

The ones that made his sixteen-year-old heart go pitter pat
I still have him too, and this was 1967 so….
What do you think of that?

Thank you my friend. Even a tiny win is a win. And no win is a "I liked it so it's okay", right?
