Learning to dance

It's Sunday, ballet show day in Stockport
They're singing 'Summer Holiday,' dancing
In stripey bathing costumes like they're taught
And at 7.30 the show's starting
Meanwhile the summer school term is ending
The real summer holiday's nearly here
And we must have one, but not depending
On bank balance or whether skies are clear
Two cappucinos and crisps please, young sir
With four new summer tops chosen and bought
That make me look a young fashionable thing
Till they're out of date later on this year
And by these tricks are careless people caught
In debt from peer pressure, overspending

Typically male thing to do that.
I'm often told i should have been a man as i do this sort of thing myself. I hate shoppimg. It's a necessary evil.
Thanks for your reply.love Janet.xx

Oh the joys of shopping for summer holiday clothes.
I hear so many tales of people who've spent a fortune on stuff that they wouldn't be seen dead in at home. It completely baffles me as to why they feel the need to "wear" a different style just on hol.
Love the imagery the ballet dancers brought to mind though.
Well done Antonioni. love Janet.xx

Interesting poem. Your words echo of summer days and of ballet dancers, and I love the title. :)
