Jitter Buggin'

....Chuck Berry rocks..

Jitter Buggin’

“Oh Carol,

don’t let him steal your heart away,

I’m gonna learn to dance

if it takes me all night and day.”

~~Chuck Berry 

~~~~

1957

you drove that cherry red Chevy coupe,

327 and 4 on the floor,

ChucK Berry coming through your door.

“Oh Carol”

you steppin’ out

to dance tonight!

~~~~

Come on Carol,

there’s a little juke joint

just down the road a way,

so lets go baby

cause when you arrive

the whole place comes alive

and everyone wants to dance and play.

~~~~

Tight pants and swayed out skirts

fill the music

with rock-n-roll jams, and

“I got my eyes on you baby,

cause you dance so good”.

“Oh Carol”

you’re stealin’ my heart away.

And I’m toe tappin’

hip swayin’,

jitter buggin’

the night away.

I admit, not too familiar with CB's work, but since I'm the youngest of 9, I was checking out this scene ("tight pants & swayed out skirts") in a periphery way, longing to be in my older sibling's world, but I was obliged to stay home & go to bed early. Your poem brings back the innocent flirtations of group dancing get-togethers & I love the last 4 lines (((HUGS)))
