Imagining the Colors
Yellow, orange and pink were the modern colors of the late sixties.
Stripes were being worn with flowers, and paisleys were big.
Artists were daring new things never dared before in recorded history.
Helping to lead our flexible mindset into the roaring seventies.
Fashion shook the nation almost as much as the Viet Nam war.
Laugh-in rivaled Heehaw’s monopoly on the TV's silliness market.
Many of us felt lucky, being the wrong sex or too young to be drafted.
We were still watching black and white TVs, imagining the colors.
