Everybody, Let's Dance

Bright Disco multi-colored dance floors
   Flashing a mesh of many bright hues.
   Mini skirts twirled above sexy 
   thighs, like shapely trees, 
   Sprouting out of thigh high boots
   Lovely hair, perfect make up, too.
   Men..so sharp, master dancers!
   Clubs had smoking allowed with their
   Circular rings adding to the ambiance.
   The overwhelming joy of dance!
   Rising to lofty sparkling ceilings,
   Dancing until the break of dawn.
   Ah, 'twas my dream, joy and inspiration
   Music was magically different, then.
   Flirting was the very best.
   A game well played?
   Your reward was the handsomest.
   A lover, perchance a husband?
   Let the music play forever
   in my dancing soul.
   Because when it stops~I will then be old.
   Nights of freedom, much loving,
   ebullient laughter.
   You, me, those Chicago nights, forever after!
   In my soul, forever do live.
   Forever young, gossamer impressions...

Hello Panagiota, I do wear jeans most of the time in the summer. I wear summer dresses in the summer. I wear jeans in the winter because they are warm. Hugs Darlene xxx-oooo-
