Music From the Sixties

Yellow Submarine comes on the radio.
Beatles music.
I press the accelerator, flying past semis who had been chasing each other.

Little Old Lady from Pasadena comes on next.
I go insane, setting a new world record for speed.
Mama Cass’s voice comes out of that radio.
It is ON!

Shades of my youth 
When I blew two engines out of two cars.
Because I was that girl.

Gershon Wolf Date: 7/26/2019 5:13:00 PM Wasn't that Marlo Thomas?! ('That girl'). LOL... And then there was 'My Girl' and 'Candy Girl' from the Four Seasons... Really though, there was no girl quite like you!! (blowing out two engines, gawd!). :) gw Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 7/26/2019 5:50:00 PM It really was her and me.
