Connie Webb - Memories From The Sixties

Описание

I remember when... I could finally where pants to school No more frilly little dresses for me It was easier to play on the monkey bars, too. We finally acquired a Big black and white TV I cried for joy watching Lassie escape another dangerous situation And I watched the Beatles appear On the Ed Sullivan show For the first time With our country western listening dad yelling “Oh no, hippie music.” I got my first pair of go-go boots And felt just like a movie star. People said “Right On” and “Groovy” And gave each other the Peace sign. John F. Kennedy gave a speech in New York And I couldn’t see it So my dad lifted me high on his shoulders Even though I didn’t know much about things political I knew I was in the presence of a great man. And I remember when I wore my first P.O.W. bracelet And hoped for war to end Still hope for it to end today. Connie Webb poemhunter.com/poem/memories-from-the-sixties/
