Memories of The Sixties


 

In this modern world of up tempo, boom boom music, does slow dancing, even exist anymore?


Can you remember your first slow dance?


Here's a made up piece to ponder on.

Salute.


Title:


Memories of The Sixties


(A lone voice whispers)



Like a soft tender whisper

I still miss her


My first true love

As I remember


That unforgettable

Christmas 


When she unlocked my virgin heart 

With her red key


When we slow danced

Like old lovers


To


Two Can Have A Party · 

By Tammi Terrell


In good old

MacVicker's


And I plucked up the courage

And kissed her


My old love

Lucy Fischer 


The poetess

Who made your heart beat quicker


And your soul flame

Flicker


My only sweet Peruvian

valley


And sacred temple

I once slow danced with


To


Two Can Have A Party · 

By Tammi Terrell
