_ Poetry Challenge Day 77 (Mon Dec 20)_
Tommy James and the Shondells
Crimson and Clover.
It was eighth grade, first love.
Every time I heard the song
the thought of Shannon
invaded my mind.
When I thought of her
my heart would race,
I was consumed.
When, I discovered
she used Crisco to tan,
I thought that strange.
When she announced
she did not like Crosby, Stills, and Nash,
it was over.
