Fishnet Stockings

Remind me of Shirley McClain
And damned Yankees 
And she didn’t even wear them in that musical
But she had the attitude of the fishnet stockings

Torn and tattered they give a new feeling
Sad, cheap, ugly which saddens me a bit.
For in the sixties they were the thing

We girls could not wait to wear them
We had patterned hose of all kinds
Knitted like fishnet, some in flowers

Fishnet brings back the sixties
Reminding me of being fifteen
Hoping someone would notice my legs
at a dance
