Seven Year Old is Shopping
Douglas Blair 1951 (London)
Mom has me for the weekend.
Dad away on sales
Until Tuesday early.
She splashes her makeup
Tosses her hair
Warms up the car.
Going downtown.
Heintzman’s Music Shop.
Mom’s sort of special place.
Listening Tony Bennett
Mantovani Orchestra
Streisand or Sinatra.
They have listening booths.
Sampling records.
I’m at it too
Oh yeah.
Bugs Bunny, Robin Hood
Huckleberry Hound.
Lone Ranger.
Lotsa fun, my Mom.
And ice cream soon, I think.
