Janice Joplin and Dinah SHORE.
Frank and Dino, each with their distinctive CROON,
Peter, Paul and Mary, peace, love, no more WAR.
That dance called the BOSA NOVA,
Lawrence Welk and that BUBBLE MACHINE.
Jack Benny - still ’39 - Your money or your life?
Still “THINKING IT OVER!”
The Supremes, that great entertainment, how lucky we had BEEN!
the jive of ROCK and ROLL.
Recalling when us seniors were perhaps around the age of ELEVEN.
Recalling the early ‘blues’ and all that classic SOUL.
Milk in glass bottles, no 2%, skim, just WHOLE,
often delivered by HORSE.
Klipity, klop, klipity klop; so good dippin’ with the yummies from the cookie jar we STOLE.
Today, kids are more sophisticated, ‘smart cookies’, of COURSE!
Now time is too often measure by the DOLLAR.
Kind a gets some of us dinosaurs THINKING.
Give us back the best parts of yesterday, we want to HOLLER!
