It must have been in the year19 69 that the corner sweet shop opened in Lionbroke. It was the favorite gathering place of the local Hyppers. Billy now at the counter with his favorite cherry coke. Chick-head, walked in,chick-head his nickname. He sat next to Billy,who was now playing the horses and looking at the scratch sheet.
Chick-head looked at Billy and asked if he wanted to listen to some JAZZ. Sure- lets play the ROBERTS BOTHERS-just then Ruth walked in- she was alone and not with Joe Omega who dated her a couple of times. Mixed up in the head but a respectable young lady.Camille followed in behind her with here two guys,one on each arm. To the left was JACK and to the right was Joe Baseballs, they had come in Joe Baseballs new car, Jacks Corevette was too small since Camille and Jack were planning on engagement.
It was past graduation day and now old enough if lucky to drink. So there decided to go to the Circle Jazz club. They went in the whole group and sat down. Don from the town bar had moved into the CIRCLE bar and welcomed the customers. Looking outside the window Camille asked Joe Omega if that was a 1957 Ford. Sure is just got it last year of High-school.I put the top down and put the surfboard proped in the backseat.
On the new, Was that the Bombing had been resumed in that war over in that place. Then it went to sports, with Joe Namath having won the championship. They all like Broadway Joe and sipped there beers. It was a trying struggle through the years but now like any story,they toasted, and so turned the Final page to THE END.
Now a popular song on the radio played Satisfaction the Number 1 hit on the charts. Billy along with Harvard, his pet dog, sat down to watch the news and look at the first pictures of the carpet bombing pictures on the TV. Camille knocked on the door and came over to Harvard and sat down next to him and gave him pats on the head. Saying, Harvard is going to be number one always. The End
