Rockabilly Nellie

Just making characters out of songs again.

Black haired Nellie

with her rockabilly bangs

knew there was one more

song to be sung

So she walked over the cigarette filled floor

untied a button from her short sleeve polka dot

and swung her hips to the devilish

rock n roll riff trot.

Her skeleton tattoos

started moving on the rockabilly blues

And her pin-up like mole

made every boy take a stroll 

down to the water hole. 

Nellie's perfume smelled like fire

You know the one that makes men perspire

And her groovy walk wasn't made to stop

Now poor, young Jon was easy to get caught

In the net that Nellie chose to throw

Another victim of her red peep toe.

Rockabilly is sassy.

Yes and this poem is sassy as well... Give this a listen, I know it's rough but it's mean to capture the feel https://soundcloud.com/j-todd-underhill/rockabilly

Nice. I was a rockabilly rebel, so long ago, in the far, far away. From the straycats, to the psychobilly of the meteors and the cramps....I don't recall why or how that particular ride stopped, but thanks fpr the memories :)

[Marina]

My pleasure Nemo! Perhaps a second rockabilly ride is on the decks now ;)

[Lorry]

Oh, I'd probably break a hip :)
