Saturday Morning Teenage Matinee




carolina theater 1966 at 10 a.m. the supremes a' go·go
twisting on stage my 13 y.o. hips pop·corn break·fast
before the movie rolls me back into my seat before i was
a teenage frankenstein

    Nice, Philip. Took me right back to those Saturday morning matinees. Unfortunately we got re-runs of Flash Gordon with Larry 'Buster' Crabbe. lol

    Philip,
    How wonderful!
    It brought me right back to my Saturday mornings spent at The Ulster Museum in Belfast.
    Old black and white films. Usually Laurel and Hardy!!
    Best wishes, Eileen
