The 70's - the Lost Years

The 70’s – the lost years At present I am in the 70’s soon to be 73. The temperature hit a record high 74 here in Boston today. During the 70’s I was older than myself, so pondered the melee - they drug rock and roll out of the 50’s, drugs out of the 60’s, added sex in the 70’s Sex, Drugs and Rock-n-Roll. Thank god there were not cell phones to record the inane ramblings of sex crazed drunk and drugged “?participants?” The damage had been done braincells lost in a smoky haze, bathed in cheap wine. And then…… THE 80’S…….DISCO What a way to sober up and go straight….. ©2/21/2018 submitted to – Where were you in the 70’s – Poetry Contest sponsor – Line Gauthier
