Remember Drive ins?
All gone but one in our state
But don't go there now
Remember the rain
Wipers washing the windscreen
Just to glimpse the film
Open the window
To stop fogging up inside
With kids in the back
They wouldn't keep still
Then they'd sleep through the good bits
Though babe was awake
What a mess they made
Sticky seats and door handles
The whole pot-pouri
Queuing to exit
Car horns venting frustration
Rain still spraying down
Adding to the fun
They all woke up when we got home
Law of averages
Next day I told them
I'm getting a tray top
Kids at back next time

ReplyDeleteI love those cars - no drive in's here but you caught the moment wonderfully
ReplyDeleteA wonderful description of something I've never seen!

Nice memories . Good job.
ReplyDeleteBut I missed the meaning of the last stanza
"... I'm getting a tray top
Kids at back next time."

The kids were too messy to be inside the vehicle
