All can remember
Before age took over
Childhood an ember
Dismissed the ogre
Eventually mature
Fables fade to reality
Good heart once pure
Hopes express sexuality
Idiosyncrasies made cruel
Judged by everyone
Know not to fear school
Learned about handgun
Members Only jacket
Nuptials, Hopper and Phillips said
O’Neal’s Love Story romantic
Pop Rocks, Coke, you’re dead
Quarters used with beer
Rotary phones of the past
School House Rock revere
TV channels increase fast
UVA rays always warned
Valentine’s day, lovers observe
Willy Wonka reborned
Xanax used to calm nerves
Yet through our evolution
Zippers still remain a solution
As I read this, it brought to mind Billy Joel's We Didn't Start The Fire, when he goes through a list of historical names, events, etc. This felt like it has a similar rhythm to it as Joel's. Interesting observations going on here.
ReplyDeleteWOW! Thanks for the compliment in comparison. It's been a long time since I've heard that song.
