Zeitgeist - My 1960s - Liz Walsh

Kaftans, mini-skirts, Carnaby Street fashions.
Angel Delight, Hirondelle wine and that sheepskin rug.
"The price of round steak on a Saturday" while

Skipping over puddles of pain
Headed to the apartment plastered with joyful stains

Love-sick
Like so many things in life, this is funny
There is this girl, I think, 
In my mind she is bursting with laughter and over-flowing with love and affection,

Cover up is your ski mask 
You never turned down the task

Nine, nine,
At my door
But these nine
Are pretty girls,
Yes, looking fine...

I scrambled up
To open the door,
Slipped on

We rode the lone road
