Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Such Fun Back In '61

The undersides of school chairs
   all gooey with gum
We thought it such fun
   back in sixty-one

In sixty-two we tore fruit loops
   from the backs of girls' shirts
The innocent way
   we first learned to flirt

In sixty-three we all wore
   skin-tight 'H.I.S.' pants
That ripped near your bulges
   when you started to dance

Memories glorious
   like your first cigarette
Or a long drawn-out kiss
   with that gorgeous brunette

No gum under the chairs in your school?! Kids aren't getting much of a read education these days, I guess! lol. ~ gw
