At Seventeen or Thereabouts

Neville

At Seventeen or Thereabouts

 

The second time, or thereabouts

we met ..

I was mightily impressed with

the way

that she looked, the way that she

moved

   and by her amazing dexterity ..

Since she

could very easily roll a decent five

skin joint,

with just one hand, on the outside

dust jacket

   of my Dark side of the Moon LP ..

And all while

strumming and humming in tune

to Janis Ian’s

   little masterpiece, At Seventeen ..

    • Tom Dylan

      Love this. You really paint the picture. And Dark Side is one of the greatest albums of all time.

      • Neville



        Well thank you both kindly and true my good man .. and yes, isn't it just .. cheers again .. Neville

      • Doggerel Dave

        Can't suppress the cough - three skins yes...five? Gotta share with too many folks to maintain the kind of exclusivity I'd like. And we were getting so close earlier too........

        • Neville



          I swear I still don't know how she did it .. three's a breeze but like you say .. five is something else

        • Jerry Reynolds

          Ahh, seventeen. I remember it so well that I did it five times.

          • Neville



            Blimey .. you wear those candles well sir Jez ..

            Whatโ€™s not to like here. The choice of music is timeless and certainly my cup of tea. Got the vinyl and Iโ€™m gonna play it today. Seventeen, those were the days my friend. I briefly returned there and enjoyed the visit. Happy Tuesday Neville ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ

              Good to hear Cassie, many many thanks my friend .. just one quick thing .. were your flag emoji's not originally of the cross of st' George? I thought they were when I popped in earlier .. and as far as I am concerned, still should be ..it being his special day & our national flag of which I am immensely proud .. Neville

              • Cassie58

                Of course, flying the flag for St Georgeโ€™s day. Our patron saint. So proud to be English:) Hereโ€™s a few more

                        Thatโ€™s where I did a lot of my courting Teddy, did you ever wear a dress of blue and silver with flowers in your hair and dance in the street after you gave out your telephone number, because I lost it on my way home ๐ŸŒน

                        • Teddy.15

                          Awe sweet, no I never wore flowers in my hair butt we may have danced at the swan in Stockwell. ๐ŸŒน Or the hypodrome leaster square, in every pub in Twickenham and Richmond. โค๏ธ
