How Sweet It Is

It was a grand wake up call for many When in the seventies on the big screen We watched the movie Looking for Mr. Goodbar The message of caution was unmistakably strong On the rocky road to Hot Tamales Going out each payday to discotheques Looking for love in all the wrong places Under the lights of the Milky Way Here there anywhere in our galaxy Like on a spree or marathon picking up willy nilly Nerds, air heads, smarties, all losers bar none Just looking for a tootsie roll or two on fifth avenue Those days are long gone Now a chocolate fix is all we crave AP: 3rd place 2020 Submitted on September 23, 2018 for contest HOW SWEET IT IS sponsored by CAROL CONNELL
