A Wing And A Prayer

I heard someone talking about kids and what they wear. They said they walk about these days wearing nothing but a wing and a prayer. I smiled to myself at that remark because it was obviously they had forgot about the clothes they used to wear. So before we are quick to condemn lets take a trip down memory lane, back to the clothes we used to wear when we were that age and to the designs that were all the rage. Suppose we go back to the sixties now that was a good time, the Mods and the Rockers, scooters and motorbikes, not to forget Flower Power. Oh, yes I remember it well. The drainpipe trousers, sitting in the bath to shrink the jeans down, not forgetting the holy vest and long hair, brothel creepers and winkle picker shoes, and that was just the boys. What about the girls with their skirts? There was the maxi, the mini and the micro, the latter once described as nothing more than a long scarf. So before we condemn the youngsters today for going around with nothing but a wing and a prayer, l et us not forget what we used to wear. I can remember my parents saying your showing your knee now that is so shocking. Today people look at youngsters saying it wasn’t like that in my day. Don’t you believe it, we were just as bad, and we were just as crazy as kids today. When it came to our clothes, we have no right to condemn for whatever they wear. We were just the same at their age, we used to wear nothing more than a wing and a prayer. We called it Fashion way, way back then, the same as they call it now.
