Stuck In the Past Lane

Stuck in the past lane He drove a '64 Ford Fairlane Listened to early Beatles and Beach Boys Collection of Pet Rocks, his favorite toys Ate sandwiches on Wonder Bread Dreams of Twinkies swirling in his head Favorite campaign slogan was 'I like Ike' Tooled around on a Schwinn 3-speed bike... Roger's friends teased him, calling him 'chicken' 'Til his adrenaline really kicked in Thinking he'd take up the art of Kung Fu Brave Roger made a wish ~ snapped his pelvis in two

I wonder if Rogers's so-called friends call him chicken now? I loved the chicken and wishbone references, Gershon
