17

When I was girl of 17….. My friend and I would fly pell mell  In her Dad’s 57’ Chevy down the esses of winding road  to watch the boys  shoot the curl and hang ten.  There I met a tall, tawny blonde, with a wave of wheaty hair  across his azure eyes He drove a blue woody full of fun and surfboards He’d come to pick me up  in his wooden chariot  to take me to sandy beaches Where I’d sit for hours content  to watch the foamy waves   take him to his heaven We’d kiss for hours  watching gold to purple skies our lithe bodies warmed from the sun and like the Beach boy’s song I was his surfer girl,  he my surfer guy  We would then float home  on fluffy clouds of love… or so we thought at 17 One day he was gone I heard to hula girls  and waves 10 feet high Ohhhh, but the memories are still there of when I was a girl of 17

Now, whenever I see a Woody, I think of him and the summer of “63”
