Athletic Cup and Saucer

Take care horny teenaged connivers
Beware of these green back-seat drivers
The things like to grab
Their fingernails jab
When bared this will mean few survivors.


Gloria Castillo and Steven Terrell take a wild ride on lover's lane in Invasion of the Saucer Men (Edward L. Cahn; 1957).

Teenage Raceland

Her mom and her pop can't be squarer 

The prom? A darn sock hop? Please spare her!
But let her drive fast
And she gets quite a blast
Atomic jalopies spread terror!


Lobby cards for Hot-Rod Girl (Leslie H. Martinson; 1956) promised Teen-age Terrorists burning up the streets!

Rock Around the Block

The heart rates in hot-rods will quicken
As car crazy knot-heads play "chicken"
Though racing high-speed
Is bracing indeed
Sub-par soup and plots never thicken.

Another Fine Message

It has a Deep Thought for its day
That Nuke-U-Ler War’s not okay;
But for all of its' strivin’
The kids at the drive-in
Aren’t watching the screen anyway.
