The Dandy Cousins

So I walked around with my head in the clouds for a week. Oh Sandy ! Well she lived far away : "Hot Diggity", "Hound Dog", "Tonight You Belong To Me", "Love Me Tender", "I Want You, I Need You, I Love You", "Gogi Grant - The Wayward Wind", "My Prayer", "Elvis Presley - Don't Be Cruel, Heartbreak Hotel", "Whatever Will Be Will Be (Que Sera Sera)". And the next year was high school and Sandy was no more.

It was a summer although which one I'm not sure, and I had a brief fling with cousin Candy Dandy. She didn't have the facial beauty her cousin Delicate had nor the figure, a bit plump. But what she had I had not realized, and why all the boys liked Candy and not Delicate - it was her personality.

"Cause you've got personality, Walk with personality - Talk with personality - Smile with personality - Charm with personality - Love with personality. And of course you've got a great big heart". Lloyd Price - Personality, 1959 Junior year high school. Seems late. I can remember telling Candy I would never smoke and wanted to burn all the taverns down. She didn't believe me. And I protested and went on to become a smoker and a drinker.

I was smoking by my junior year and drinking by my senior. She had personality. I had indignantly. All the boys liked her and she was very popular. I liked a lovely face and lithe body. Did Sandy have personality, did June Harbor ? Did I ?
