The Man From The Seventies.

Goldfinch60



I looked in the mirror,

And he just looked back at me,

This man in his seventieth year.

But what else did I see,

I saw the man from the seventies.

The time when I wore kipper ties,

When I wore bell bottomed trousers,

And those wonderful white platform shoes.

I looked again and wondered why

These visions of my past came to me;

Then I saw it.

I also had long hair,

And the image had reminded me of that time,

And the resolution was found,

I had to go and get my hair cut.

      Goldfinch, you are describing my late teens and early twenties!

      • Goldfinch60

        We were both there then, this song was number one in the charts and the clothes that I have described I wore at my brothers wedding in August 1975.

          Thanks Syd, each generation had its secret styles.

                We sure do Ron, I still think of myself as 35, except when I then try and do the things I could do when I was 35.
