Green Girl Of The Sixties

Mellow yellow banana skins
were never the thing for me.
The electrical banana
I escaped virtuously,

for I was a naïve girl
who just saw the yellow sun,
and the golden colour of butter
spread over my currant bun.

Donovon - 'Mellow Yellow' around 1966...if my memory serves me correctly;-) As for the 'electrical banana'...now that's another thing!!

Enjoyed this immensely, Val. Brought the memories flooding back;-)

Thanks Tina I'm glad it bought back happy memories for you. Love Valx

Long before my time, Val - but I enjoyed this nevertheless! Concise, but very, very beautiful and resonant.

Thanks Magic perhaps it would benefit you if you Googled to enable you to understand. Google Donovan or Mellow yellow. Valx

Is that -'they call me mellow yellow?'- if so, I love that song.
Enjoyed this poem. x

Yes that's the one, but if you read up on it you'll see it has hidden depths. Thanks for commenting. Valx

I shall investigate! x

Good for you (;
