The Joke of Time

 

What ever became of Hippy Stu, bell bottom jeans and peace tattoo?

 

Shoulder length hair back in 62

 

And what ever became of Disco Stu, Afro hair perm and platform shoe.

 

A dancing fool in 72.

 

Alas, I see them, in the mirror they be.

 

Bald Toothless Stu at 63,

awww...I still love bell bottoms
they call them "fit & flares" nowadays
and silver space jackets & earth shoes
you're Right On the Money Train

Time to book... Dig It?

boy, i'm almost 60, still have shoulder length hair, have all my teeth and can dance when it matters ... fortunately, the mirror is sympathetic ... just glad to be alive ...

Ah yes, John, i can see Stu clearly,
i don't have to look far.
Thank you for this.

ah yes, time wounds all heels... and still the wound congeals.

Stu may be bald and toothless now, but I'll bet he can still DANCE!
Peace & Lov,
Carolyn
