Popping the pink bubble

(Junior school in the 1950s)

<Audio>

The ladies in the pink bubblegum shop,
in outrage stare, o the tutting window where,
kissing boys hard on the boiler room steps,
the girls squeeze away their school-time crushes,
in a golden blur, and hot in ruby flushes, 
that will last these pinafore wives,
and their vainglorious lover boys,
to the very end of their very tiny lives.
