Downtown Poem by Paul Reed

Downtown



In distant memories I am swathed
Serenaded and softly bathed
In a musical dream that soothed my fears
And entranced my innocent eyes and ears

The pink Pye label spun it's hypnotic trance
And as Petula sang I wanted to dance
A warm smile slowly replaced my frown
And I was spirited away ‘Downtown'

It's hard to believe fifty years have passed
Through adulthood all my cares amassed
Half a century is gone and over
Since we danced the gentle bossa nova
