Until someone stopped us
But still
We could see they were trying to hide smiles
Remembering their own trips
Round and round and giggling with glee

And even the blue-haired lady
In that booth over there
Gave us a smile
When she thought the folks weren't looking
Remembering her own days
As a fetching young gal
Ribbon in her hair,
Perched atop that red stool
Hoping to catch her sweetheart's eye.
Very sweet! I just love the 50's vibe in this picture.
