Roxy Roller

Roxy Roller

 

Roxy Roller skated naked on the stage

And stole my heart.

I was young, but Roxy was about my age

 

Winter on the Loop

blasted tiny ice pellets

“Duke of Earl” played on the radio

as I waited for the “L”

Wabash to State

“Got to catch Roxy’s show.”

 

Full house. Grabbed a seat at the back.

Roxy dressed as a Carhop.

“Man is she hot!”

No more uniform…

Roxy Roller skated naked.

 

I waited in the cold.

Side exit.

Roxy’s only way out.

Doors opened…other girls passed, and laughed.

At last there was Roxy

Bundled up for the weather..

But she was not alone.

 

“Who’s that with her?

Not too big.

I think I can kick his ass”

But then she kissed him.

I screamed, “Roxy!”

And as she neared she replied

“Hi, this is Suzie.”

 

Roxy Roller skated naked

So did “Little Suzie.”

    I love a good larf ... wish I had come here ages ago .. having said that, I now hope this fine bit of fun will be visited by many more who follow in the wake I have left behind ... Neville

      Thank you, Neville, Sorry for the delay. Was only funny in retrospect. In the moment it was shattering. Like a wakeup call to life's realities.
