Cavalier Days
I still can recall those beat-ifull days the dances at the naffi and the ship where they played the beat it was loud and the music was cool we were all the wiser that side of Poole the songs that we sung and the music went twang our heartbeats were quick and it went with a bang the long hair and drainpipes with beatle new boots we were young but much wiser n not old in the tooth the durberville hall and the cricket pitch green the sounds of the guns from the bovington scenes the laughter and frolics and ballroom attires the mods and the rockers along with the squires the music was rich then as they strummed a few chords from trips to the oceans on queen Elizabeth's world the band played a medley of Beatles and rock where teenagers gathered in their best gear and smocks near lulworths great bay and durdles wide door where tanks they did roll and emblems cross swords the garrison nearby with its history of shaw close by the river banks where hardy explored they drunk from the ship inn and danced on the floor in the old hut that's not there anymore the guys they had long hair and the girls beehive too they snogged on the dance floor close to the loos the music they played was out of this world they sang all the standards and we heard every word the Morley's and Jones boy sung out the songs wel never forget them as we sang them along the nights then were free and full of good cheer as we ate up our crisps and drunk of fine beer those days are gone now but the music lives on in the minds of the dreamers who still sing the songs the cavalier days and the barbecue sets the walks in the country we will never forget Poetry Ad-Free Upgrades Vote for this poem
