Hello Mrs. Robinson

Sixty eight memories go ‘round
and rounder sucking
back to reminiscence when drive-in nights
drive back thoughts
and pit my stomach with that
almost lost innocence

how easily it could have escaped
with escapism of Dustin

she was only 40 playing the older woman
and you took me to see this as a second
date following the first date of a
church dance; had I seen
this movie before, no,
not enough to want
to miss going a
fourth time

you were such a charmer to the parents
and would have me home in
circumspect time, a real winner…

covering all the bases you
filled the two-seater with popcorn and candies
just so you could get to the
treats easily…

you weren’t expecting your
money back so quickly
with a thin dime between two fingers

younger brother laughed, knowing
the movie hadn’t ended so quickly,
but that the second date had.

I love this. Imagine 40 and the older woman! LOL. Nice walk through memories. Did you see Dustin Hoffman on the spot during the Acadamy awards? I hope so, it was so funny.

Coo, coo, ca-choo, Mrs Robinson
Were you in the Ford just in front ... the one in which the windows were NOT steamed but the driver WAS?

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

(smiles) Awwwwwwww, I wish I could lived those times, though I have seen "The Graduate" and I can feel this kind of fake nostalgia imagining how it must have been to get around in those golden ages! (big hugggssssss) I love it, sweet friend, this is wonderful, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Ah, I loved that movie, but by that year I had a baby 2 years old already, however I remember the drive-ins, and wish they still had them; it was something about being "sneaky" that always made it special.  Remember, "love bites", ah, I bet you don't?  The drive-in was famous for them!   Loved the memories this tingled.
