My Life As I See It
I was a west Texas oil boom baby
Born just in time for the Great Depression
We lived in the Dust Bowl when you could see
Then came World War Two in quick succession
Russia launched Sputnik and it changed my life
I was a scientist in the cold war
We spied from space on everything that moved
And went to the moon - which is pretty far
Then I retired and I hung up my woes
And wrote a poem just to see how it goes
