Prom of 1970
We all had homemade dresses for prom; well, nearly all of us.
This was back in 1970 while black and white Viet Nam War photos were on TV
Every night, we saw such sadness.
Prom was a reminder...

Love Hints
I was trying to be fair
Hiding all my fragile tears
From a man who didn't seem
To notice all my future dreams

The highest of the class with lots of flowing cash,
with gorgeous eveningball gowns and tuxes with the sash.

Everyone wears tuxes and evening gowns
on the beach
and high heeled shoes
or highly polished winged tips
in magazines, anyway, the beautiful people.

Who’s a shoo-in for best...

Midnight Romance
Debutantes with secret lives of crimson
could drink and smoke much more than anyone,
dressed in ivory postbellum fashion

Getting ready for a wedding
It's the hardest thing to do
One minute you're feeling happy
The next, you're all unglued
The wedding cake, the flowers
You're trying to find the best
In all the uproar and excitement
You've forgotten your favorite...
