Sexy bathing suits...(use caution, this could be considered racy)

Poem Artwork



They had sexy bathing suits way back when,

Bathing did mean going to your waist then,

No catching a wave, or getting a tan,

Just a place to keep cool without a fan…

 

The boardwalk the place to go at night,

Really advanced they were, they had gas for light,

Shops and eateries all lit with candles,

Folks back then had little if any love handles…


A simpler time it must have been,

Before world wars and lives of sin,

No worries that the kids are out playing,

Sundays the Sabbath meant for praying…

 

Before rock music and television,

Before children talking back, respecting those older,

Before fear of nuclear attack,

Most the kids had to fear was a good old fashioned smack…

Pretty good Ed. I think it's probably pretty accurate, but I think the title promised too much. (smile)

This sepia-tone craze is noticed on other Den sites here on AD. I like it! Nostalagia is a great theme on any subject. I wrote one called Tintype a while back. This has a real nice feel to it, Ed. Thanks for the memories.

Love it! Not crazy about the smack, but otherwise, what a trip.
Do another in this vein, be sure and mention boomboxes and cell phones. God. Isn't there ANY place where. . .whoa. 'Bout t'go on a rant. A g a i n. Thanks for taking me down memory lane, Luv.

You're right about those smacks; I got quite a few of those, especially when I left my sexy bathing suit on the beach, and went for a dip - au naturel!
