Come on baby
Let's do the Twist and Mashed Potato
Who needs sleep?
~~~~~~
We were so cool
Thinking we were sophisticated
Doing the Monkey?
~~~~~
Awkward teen years
Thinking the worst of ourselves
We were just growing wings to fly

    The 60s were something else. I had a good time in the late 60s. I graduated high school in 1969.

    Have a fabulous day. ♥♥♥
