Net: A Six Sentence Story





High top Reeboks, jelly shoes,
Jazzercise and Underoos.

Spandex, neon, stirrup pants,
Power suits and shoulder pads.

Flashdance, Footloose, Material Girl,
Thriller, Toto, We Are The World.

Ray Bans, Polos, collars popped,
Risky Business, mullets chopped.

Big hair, perms, hot roller sets,
Spray it all with Aqua Net

You can mock them, but I, for one,
Found the 1980s a little TOO much fun!





Linking up with Denise at Girlie On The Edge's Blog for Six Sentence Stories with the prompt "net"

  2. I was having so much fun reading this, I got all through it and completely missed the cue word, and had to read it again. It was just as much fun the second time, and this time, I didn't miss it. Love seeing photos of you with the poofy hair!

    1. Thank you so much, Pat! I'm a terrible poet, but it was sure fun to give it a try! I had forgotten I even had those photos. So glad I dug around and found them!

  11. Great imagery here. I could totally feel the 80's vibes. It almost played through my head like an 80's song if that makes sense?
