Poem
Way Back When Lingo! (Slang from the 1970's) The '70's were way back when, Once we were young, the 70's had just begun... There were hits that were around, when we were all closer to the ground... I was a dorky classroom teacher, Like being a gross lay preacher, For all the little chicks and dudes, Who had to sit on it in primary school, "Get real!" I'd say to them, They answered back, "Ahem, Up your nose with a rubber hose!" When I'd asked them to write some prose. They were in my face all day, Can you dig it? Then they'd say, "Dorky, don't chuck a spaz, We're really not that bad. Keep on truckin', Art is groovy!" Didn't have a VCR for movies. "Maths is sick!" they'd shriek, "We're not perfect little geeks!' "Awe, sooky sooky la la," I'd say, "Extra homework, ha ha ha! Right on, looooking gooood..." "Dream on, dorky, there's the bell!" "Good night, John boys!" I'd yell. "That's sick!" "Catch you tomorrow." Hometime was no sorrow. "Catch you on the flip side," As they ran outside, "Don't go bananas at us!!!!" Now we're old, why did I fuss? Once we were all so young, When the '70's had just begun.
