Like, wow, daddy-o. Can’t find my black turtleneck sweater to wear to the Sock Hop, down at the Goodwood Carriage House Saturday night.

Totally Squaresville.

Like, I’m really diggin’ the jaaaazzzz they’ll be playing, but without my black turtleneck, man, my poetry just won’t rhyme.

Got my beret, got my bongos, doing some drumming down at the coffee house. This cat is planning on doing some reading at the Hop, in my far-out hip way, daddy-o.

Don’t be a cube, cats and kittens. Be a cool cat, like the character in the Warner Bros. cartoon. Never let the man put you down when you swing to the music at the Hop.


TRANSLATION

To hear a Bob Gabordi reading, go to the Ready for School Sock Hop, 6 to 10 p.m. Saturday at the Goodwood Carriage House. Tickets are $25 each, and are available at this link or by calling 385-0551.

You can also come for the music, to dance or any old reason you’d like, but what fun is that? The dance is presented by the Early Learning Coalition of the Big Bend.

Bob has agreed to play a beatnik for the good of the kids served by the ELC. Bob, however, might never be the same.
