I will go back in time to the 1980's when I was still a young girl,
loved watching the movie Flash dance;
then, leaping in a Footloose trance,
and with hope took a hip hop chance.
Yes, even back then although much was happening I took a twirl,
brother just played his PacMan game;
John Lennon was murdered- oh shame,
and Michael Jackson was the name.
In my room- with leg warmers and a boombox blaring I would whirl,
oh, the challenger and crew lost;
Mount Helen erupts with a cost,
wore ray sunglasses in the frost.
ET, Thriller and then moon walking with My Little Pony- I swirl
oh, Rubik's Cube my brother's thing;
to my childhood I wished to cling,
and with Whitney Houston to sing.
