Cobwebs and Laughter

(Rewind, an 80's music festival at Henley, nothing like going with old friends)

It didn't matter that the showers

howled with laughter at the hours

they observed us from above,

a festival of peace and love.

Umbrellas up, umbrellas down,

then raincoats on and raincoats off

and hats were doffed as sun came out

amid the cheers and raucous shouts.

Rewind the years, turn back the clock,

forget the niggling aches and pains.

Relive the music of your youth

and dance beneath those winking stars.

Dressed up in fashions vibrant, bright

you're not as slim, your outfit's tight

but nothing's going to dim your fun.

You bought the ticket to stay young.

And everyone's hell bent that they

will grasp the moment, live the day.

Attention grabbing younger you,

has not forgotten what to do.

The years are peeled and you exposed,

your cobweb's blown, you feel the cold,

the fast lane may have slightly slowed,

but you are raving, just as bold

and growing old disgracefully.

Rain and showers > Summer festival or Local gala all the same
Music of our day > thats the way
Dressed up fashions > Still bright & gay

Yes, keep the music alive (even though you won't be jiving). Have yourself a good bank Holiday week-end. Thank you for checking in Wild Rose.
