56

I wish it was 56 

And my life was cool and classic 

Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, Bettie Page

Wishing I lived in the golden age 

Pin ups, malt shops, records, Elvis and Johnny Cash 

Coupe de'ville Cadillacs and a sock hop bash 

Wishing I were classic and vintage 

Back in America's golden age

Sounds like a cool poem for a cool age. All you've mentioned makes me envious for that time in life when everything was much simpler and had a special quality about it. Of course people were jumping under desks for nuclear drills and there was the problems Baby Ric pointed out as well, but for me personally, I'll take that era over this one any day. Great write.

At least people could trust the guys they scored in for the most part

[Relic]

Yeah, true.

I feel your words I was born in the wrong era too, great poem

If you were white, male and lived in a northern city the 50's were swell

Haha sounds a lot like what my dad said. But I don't think I'd really know the difference if I hadn't grown up with all my womanly freedoms, you know?
