1970 To 1979

I am Farrah Fawcett,
Poster on the wall. 
  I am a rotary phone,
When I made a call. 

   I am, Boss,
it’s the plane, The plane. 
   I am Pablo Escobar,
And his cocaine. 

   I am Queen with 
Freddy Mercury Live. 
   I am the Bee Gees,
Talking that Jive. 

   I am vinyl, 8-tracks,
 cassettes and CDs. 
   I am, make love not war, 
And Hippies. 

   I am where is the beef? 
Don't squeeze the Charmin. 
   I am Cheech and Chong 
and George Carlin. 

   I am SNL when it
Was funny. 
   I am Happy Days,
And a Playboy bunny. 

   I am M.A.S.H. and
A metal Lunch-box.
   I am clackers, tang,
And a Pet-rock.


   I am American Bandstand, 
Peace signs, and the twist. 
   I am pay-phones, pagers,
and stick-shifts. 

   I am, conjunction junction,
What's your function?
   I am Patty Hearst and 
Her abduction. 

      Turbo1904
