Poetry Wednesday: Old Time Rock N Roll.

Old Time Rock n Roll:
 
Down Memory Lane.
 
 

Those days near gone
Although I still remember when
We would dance all night, and then 
By afternoon we would start again
 
The jukebox playing loud as can be
Any excuse for you to hold me
A twist here and twirl, just swell
Then some fancy moves, we did so well
 
Bobby socks and crew neck tees
Black denim jeans and pointy toed shoes
Side burns half way down your cheek
Hair oiled up nice and sleek
 
My blouse is red, I wear high heels too
You tell me you love them and admire the view
Bouffant hair style, teased up high
Black flared skirt that shows some thigh
 
Elvis, Chuck and Orbison too
We love their music through and through
Always ready  for something new
The Twist, Locomotion and Limboing  too, 
 
Stepping it up with a good old jive
Strutting our stuff to Six o Clock Live
Any excuse to get into a groove
Shake it down baby and make a new move
 
Studebaker's, Fox Tales and Ford Coupes
They really were, the Good Ol' Days
Creme De'Mente and Chocolate Curacao
Cheese and gherkins on a Square Sao.
 
It does not seem so long ago
We played those songs, dancing to and fro
Now it's arthritis, lumbago and sore feet too
Come here babe, I want to dance with you!

Poetry Wednesday Tour Starts Here.



The image above was taken by me at a rock n roll party in March. Just loved the old car parked outside, next to the Band.
We all rocked on into the wee hours.

  1. The best rock 'n' roll song EVER written (it changed how lyrics were crafted). Penned by Chuck Berry (recording his start in showbiz) and sung here by Elvis (before the pills turned him into a food-pig) The two best tapes of each performer have disappeared from the internet video scene unfortunately - but this is ok..

  3. Those were the days, Milli-that's why I named my blog "Cerebral Jukebox;" the music never stopped playing in my head, and almost every poem has a song. My dad had a '63 Studebaker!
    This brought back wonderful memories, I'm with you!

  12. You know I've tried to do this LOL. I tried to think of the songs that reminded me of my love and put them into poetry form. This is NOT as easy as it looks, so I tip my hat to you ;o).

    This is just great! I think its a beautiful poem about a beautiful love you shared. Thank you for sharing it with US too.
