listening

listening to really old songs,
the type your father played
and you lapped on the side
of a marconi with stereo
in a blue leather case,
unless you're too young
to recall, the stylist
who didn't style your hair,
and a needle that didn't
sew your jeans.

listening to old songs
that I heard on the lap
chantreuse with voices
and killer sixty hairstyles,
or weirdo seventy fashions.

Hotpants should never be worn
unless under medical supervision :-)

Love this one and remember well the turn table that plugged into the back of the Philips tube radio. Ours was a light green imitation leather. How much is that doggie in the window....:-)
I still remember many of the songs from the 78rpm records.
Thanks for the memories :-)
