Come Dance With Me Under the Bleachers

The compact disc now adds full sound. Our mothers preach from all around. Explicit lyrics and songs of sin. We sneak in vodka, some rum and gin. KISS, The Crue and Guns N Roses. They play the gym, big hair now poses. I see my sweet across the stage. J Geils we dance, rage in the cage. The smell of hairspray and old spice linger. We dance real close, ballad of Winger. The high school dance I sure do miss. My first real buzz, my first real kiss. Our parties raged on past the dawn. The after party still parties on. Our hidden drinks from all of the teachers. Come dance with me, under the bleachers. 3-18-20 : "Kim Rodrigues' DWM Contest"

I am glad I grew up in the 80's. That was a special decade. Graduated in 89. Loved The Crue and G&R. G&R had great musical and lyrical depth. Too bad Axl was a tool. I consider 'November Rain' one of the greatest songs ever recorded. Good luck in the contest.

Truly brings back memories to me my friend. I graduated in 1973.. High school was a great learning experience for me and a lot of that learning was about relationships, sex and how this world truly operates. Great rock music 60's/70's.. A fav.. good luck in the contest..
