I have lain with the best In the country and in town From the east to the west Think of none with a frown Tender sighs and soft lips Rosy cheeks; brown-eyed soul From their mouths I did sip Sweet memories I stole Some made me laugh and joke There were those who were grim Some drank wine, some sniffed coke Some were portly, most were slim The years have come and gone Some fade from memory Some I recall so strong A girl from Flushing, she I was no Romeo Though I started some fires Julio Iglesias, oh no I just fanned their desire Maybe some think of me Some with tears, some with smiles Flushing girl had the key I fell in love, beguiled. ©August 5, 2016 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

Must have been a New Yorker that stirred your senses some Jerry. I'm assuming "Flushing", New York that is. A grand remembrance of good women. Where are they now? Would any expect to find you here? Loving Linny Jean is poetry. |

Yes, Flushing is definitely part of the New York City complex, Ari, and she unfortunately has passed away. I have a feeling she wouldn't be at all surprised to find me here. The rest of them? I doubt it. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

Huh, they must have been so many...(in your day, I started to write), but has any one stayed on?....their loss I would say.. |

Some stayed for a while, jjote, but I was the one that ultimately left always looking for something I could never find. Thank you. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |
