It must be great fun to be a kid living in a tent during an Ocean Grove summer. Instead of bicycles to zoom around the sidewalks of the Village, there are now skateboards and scooters.
I saw a teenager coasting down Mt. Hermon Way on a skateboard, in her gravity defying short shorts, maintaining her decorum all the while speaking on a cell phone. It is certain—-someday she will have a tattoo, and her parents will approve. This is the new look of femininity.
But the Village girl, on her scooter, shows no sign of becoming anything but a proper young lady.
JUDY GARLAND from The Wizard of Oz.
“Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow.
Why then, oh, why can’t I?
“If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow.
Why, oh, why can’t I?”
