Fishnet Stockings
Remind me of Shirley McClain
And damned Yankees
And she didn’t even wear them in that musical
But she had the attitude of the fishnet stockings
Torn and tattered they give a new feeling
Sad, cheap, ugly which saddens me a bit.
For in the sixties they were the thing
We girls could not wait to wear them
We had patterned hose of all kinds
Knitted like fishnet, some in flowers
Fishnet brings back the sixties
Reminding me of being fifteen
Hoping someone would notice my legs
at a dance
