Notes About The Poem

Hot In La

Hot In L.A.
.
Hot in L.A
Where the girls are so pretty
And the sun smiles down all day
Three friends on holiday
Take to the road and ride
Far away from the hustle and bustle
They head cheerfully for the countryside
With the wind streaming their hair
Each a peach
The boys whistle and stop to stare
So young so alive and free
Time is on their side
And budding movie stars they dream to be
Singing and laughing as they go
On their merry way
Waving to people they don’t know
They all met at collage and were cheerleaders for a spell
They shared their secrets
And their kiss and tell
This was just before Pearl harbour
And just before the war
All three were nurses
In the army core
Bonded as sisters they stuck together through thick and thin
For almost sixty years
And old age settled in
But still have their cheeky girlish  charm and fun
Still at heart
Forever young.

A lovely poem Peter three friends and remaining friends all their lives, still get together for a chat even after sixty years. Time seems to have stood still for them. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer,
