MISTY Dreaming About the 50's

This is a quilt and poem I created for a FGM Challenge several years ago. I didn't win..... so many better. Very talented group of ladies I competed with. I had the quilt, but misplaced the poem. Thanks to a fellow FGM, she was able to locate my long lost poem. Now they are together again. Adorning Kayla's room.

MISTY

DREAMING ABOUT THE 50's

Misty is a lazy fairy, she lives upon cloud 9

Dreaming about the 50’s, is how she spends her time.

Pedal pushers, Coonskin caps, saddle shoes and poodle skirts,

Boys with greasy duck tails and rolled up white T-shirts.

She dreams about soda shops, rock-a-billy and the King.

Bill Haley, Perry Como and dancing to the Swing.

Muscle cars and street rods, drag racing down on Main,

Drive in movies, cashmere sweaters and walking barefoot in the rain.

Buddy Holly, James Dean, Rock and Roll and Doo Wop.

Spumoni ice cream, Tutti Fruitti and rolled down bobby sox

If Misty could bring the 50’s back, she knows what she would do.

She’d sit on the shoulders of the King, as he sings Blue Suede Shoes.

She’d pop down to the soda shop, discreetly hide herself,

Watching all the action, from high atop a shelf.

But even fairies can’t turn back time, (tho’ it surely would be nifty)

So Misty fritters away her time, just dreaming about the 50’s
