how could I not read a poem with such an enticing title ;) thank you for your spark, Cherrie Palmer! .. such wonderful youthful memories ignited and brought to life...both real and false :)) I never owned a car that had any room in it to "Scoot on over..." ... until I took this ride... eagerly I must confess.... in "Hmmmm, Let's Go" ... the language fits the 50s and 60s says i .. fine story telling .. very enjoyable read for me ma'am! filled in as many details as I wanted to and hung them on your strong framework and guiding lines ... I appreciate this up-lifting poem this morning .. kinda needed it ;)

that old dirt road
The long hot, dusty, barbed-wire fence lined, long dry grass growing, blue sky burning, windows wide open, engine screamin, music playin, pot holed dirt road to the ol' swimmin hole.

Aw, Cherrie!
I thought you'd forgotten. ; )
You sure brought back to life some sweet memories, with all the enjoyment, arousals, and tender moments shared so long ago.
Your version makes all those moments sound so good, I wish it could have been You I shared them with.
"Scoot on over and 'set' with me" … could you have meant "sit", or might you have had in mind, "Scoot on over and 'pair' with me"? And, who doesn't love a romantic skinny-dip in a hot summer's twilight.
Ahhh, such scenery, imagery, emotion, and warming sentimentality of sensations that wrap one up in the sheer beauty and embrace of your poetic ambience … "hmmmm, let's go!"
Simply beautiful poeting, dear poetess!
Obviously, you've stolen-in and swept me away, Cherrie …
and, for it, I hug you happily! ⁓ Richard ; )))
