A Country Girl Poem
This Naughty Girl
This naughty girl is not for naught
Her toys are words learned on the farm
Amidst the cows pigs and horses
She came to town did she ever
Smallish town farmers brought their eggs
Sold the eggs and showed their daughters
Saturday night their groceries bought
Kicked the tires while girls met their friends
Sitting on sidewalk benches she
Dropped her hankie gave boys her wink
Didn't dare go walking with one
When her dad's in town kicking tires
When she had a car of her own
She'd drive it to the town next down
Loaded with girls they'd cruise main street
Boys would call out she'd flash her lights
And when she comes to town they"ll know
Lucy farm girl was on the prowl
A simple girl who likes the boys
I'll Cruise Main Street not naughty girl

- Note: On weekend nights in my days the young would cruise Main Street, Lincoln Nebraska, boys and girls in separate cars, or mixed. They'd flirt and sometimes mix. Or do a little street racing, my car was hopped up and fast. The drive-ins were popular too. Oh yes, there was a girl, Lucy, almost every weekend night in a late model Ford, full of girls.

Something else I've never experienced. I enjoyed this glimpse into your past, Jim.
The experience I have had with naughty girls is that they laugh at you. Mind you I am going back over sixty years.
Sounds like fun times. Boys' toys, eh? Whether full-size or models. Those models look very shiny and well kept.
The detail of the girl dropping her hankie and winking at the boys sets the mood for the era. The playfulness of the girl works so well. The same is true of the title and the tone.
I enjoyed your descriptive phrasing. A fun read.
Love your journeys into ‘Americana’ .... yeehaw.
Fun and sweetly innocent memories- quite a personality.
Great description of a small town Saturday night back "in the day"!
This naughty girl seems to have fun--this is a fun read Jim!
I wasn't a naughty girl, but I sure liked to cruise main street in a 57 Chrysler
that is the kind of girl i am intimidated by. haha. great write Jim!
I hung out with a few Lucys in my time, and I may have had the reputation of being one, although it wasn't true. I did like to drive around, and I liked to drink beer, but I wasn't much for flirting or more.
