High School Dance Dwm

I am a teenaged girl in The year 1988 I'm so full of excitement To be going on this date As I get myself ready I really must say, It really can't be good To use this much hair spray. Big hair and bright colors Is the style today A shirt off the shoulder Or jeans that are frayed. My date has arrived flowers are on my wrist I take one more look To make sure nothing has been missed The gyms filled with streamers balloons floating in the air. We see our friends andmake our way over there They played the best music Bands I like to listen to Madonna, Van Halen, The Cure and U2 We danced all night And had such a blast Dancing and laughing I wished it all would last. Some time from now I will think of this date When I went to the dance As a teen in '88. 3/12/2020 Kim Rodrigues’ DWM Contest

It is great that you mentioned the musical artists, for that is what makes it 1988 instead of 1948. Great job!
