Embarrassed
By the low cut front
Of the dress or perhaps
By how little it allows one to see

It’s ridiculous to suggest
That sex is a discovery of recent years
Just by virtue of the fact we are here

After twenty-nine or so
When things started to go
And others are now more in style

What was then new
Becomes pathetically droll
With a touch of sadness to its smile

What was then new
Becomes pathetically droll
With a touch of sadness to its smile

and yet sometimes the more things seem to change the more they are really the same


fashion itself  returns every 20 years or so...
