The Girl With Sea Green Eyes Summer Of 54 Poem by Thomas Henry Reynolds

We rode up to the snack bar on that summer day.
Dave on a Triumph, Jake on a Norton, me on my B.S.A.
We were there to see her the girl with the sea green eyes.
She was every young man's dream, a magnet for the guys.
'Three hot dogs and three cokes' said Davy if you will.
'A sweet smile from you my love and a fiver from the till'.
'What time do you get off' said Jake'I'll give you a ride
just say the time my girl and I; ll be right outside'
She just smiled at him, the girl with sea green eyes.
'I have a lift with Hank at nine' she said' to my surprise
Well I just sat there and tried to play it cool,
but everyone could see, old Hank was blushing like a fool.
hell I'd just been chosen from all the other guys,
by this teenage dream, the girl with sea green eyes.
Well I was there at nine on my old B.S.A.
She wrapped her arms around me as we rode away.
I don't know how, or why, I had won this prize
but I just thank the stars, for the girl with sea green eyes.
