Here's to You, 1950

  
     Here’s to you, 1950
        the year I was born
     Greetings from the future
        tinsel tossed, unadorned

     Her vision like hindsight
        make-up not required
     Listenin’ to rock-roll music
         that never expired

nice nostalgic rhyme...I was born in early 52...I agree: rock-roll never expired but yet there seems to be so much more hidden by the 'makeup' in people's lives today. Just sayin' Faving.

Then you’re 10 years older than me. Love having been born in an even year. A lot easier to compute how old I am. Of course, this year, for me hard to forget…Ye old senior citizen. Can you see the trumpet and the unrolled royal scroll (think of the 1960’s Cinderella) ??????
