Shelma was going out on a date
So excited she just couldn’t wait
She was looking her best
In her January Sales dress
The evening was going to be great
~
Sandy lit Shelma’s fuse
She loved his winkle picker shoes
It brightened her mood
To be with such a cool dude
He banished her January blues!
~
They wanted to paint the town red
But painted the beach blue instead
A moonlit walk along the sand
Strolling together hand in hand
Anticipating what lay ahead.
~

What lies ahead for this couple I wonder, any ideas?
Will it be calm seas or stormy waters?
Judy and I have enjoyed teaming up again this week. I do love her take on things, pop across to Judy’s Blog to read more of her delightfully beguiling work.
Did you know you CAN still buy Winkle-Picker shoes? I’ll be looking out for them now.
I recently found the pebbles that my grandchildren children had drawn on last Summer, lurking in the bottom of a bag. They had obviously been lying in wait, ready for an appearance in a ‘Silly Saturday’ or two.

A fetching couple! I had never heard of Winkle-Picker Shoes. I clicked on the link. Let’s just say that you don’t see shoes like that in Maine. 😉

You don’t see Winklepickers in Dorset either!
London maybe – they were fashionable here in the late 1950s and retro is IN! over here.

Indeed – not exactly beach wear are they, I think she was hoping to go Clubbing! I think Sandy will have to up his game if he’s to get a Valentine’s card!

I too love the movement in Shelma’s dress – and the poem! Winkle-pickers back in fashion? It’s been a while!! 😀 This is an enjoyable pairing – both the shellies and the artist and poet
