Originating in Montreal
In the early eighties starting small
Cirque du Soleil
Is a worldwide ballet
A sensation unmatched to this day
cannot get hair teased any higher?
Okay then, let’s spray it with color.
Neons are good, we are heading toward the skate barn.
You look punky, woman, in the zone
Two days in May, the extent of our summer
A couple in the eighties, what a bummer
It just ain't right
Quite a plight
Need a little chat with nature's mother
Two days in May, the extent of our summer
A couple in the eighties, what a bummer
It just ain't right
Quite a plight
Need a little chat with nature's mother
Simon Le Bon English singer who rocked the eighties
Three Ivor Novello Awards British Academy, maties
Duran Duran's lead singer and lyricist
Flair for poetry my favorite empiricist
I watch angel miracle stories on my TV
with a host I dislike
but the stories are terrific
It is an old show, from the eighties.
But do angel stories ever go out of style?
Not for me
Men have radar when it comes to pretty ladies
It keeps on keeping on, though still in our eighties
Thought by now
Be grazing with cows
Like a hard-charging bull, I snort and roar daily
It isn't a secret I'm still in love with the ladies
Gorgeous females are most definitely my frailty
Could stop anytime
But sex drive is prime
It's even tougher when we get to our eighties!
Pet droppings on upholstery
Roaches (they freak me out most preposterously)
Elevators that stall out 'tween floors unexplainably
Jello, most eighties music, bigots, irresponsibility
Insincerity fencing for popularity
Got a new car for my spouse, what a great trade!
A friend said, bet it was the best trade you've ever made
Now, now, ladies
I'm in my eighties
Don't bother kicking me there, it's been dormant for years
Well here and now, I'm gonna come clean
There'll be no mistaking exactly what I mean
I love the young ladies
Though I'm in my eighties
Waiting to do battle with my anxious submarine

Alien woman has fallen to earth in a surprise move.
Luckily, it is the eighties, and she gets on her groove.
Others do not notice, she fits in and is pretty much unseen.
I think that it helped a bunch that it was on Halloween.
Eighties Shadies
There once were two fine Southern Ladies
Both sisters and late in their eighties
By day who were prim
Come night hit the gin
And skinny-dipped down in the shadies.

(Limerick)
You guys will all probably think I'm crazy
Feel like tripping through fields of daisies
Prance around with flair
With a couple in my hair
It's all gone downhill since I reached my eighties

First attempt at this form.
Great-grandma Gerty of the family Grim
Threw around threats, controlling them
Threatening to cut them out of her will.
If they drank, smoked, danced or used a pill.
In her eighties they thought it won’t be long
But she is one hundred and two now, still going strong.
The eighties ignited a hair bomb
With Siouxsie And The Banshees
Cyndi Lauper and Platinum Blonde
With enough Final Net and a thorough tease
Your hair would stand up to the stiffest breeze

being 'sixty' was
nearing a...
retirement age
and the sixties
were fun just...
as the seventies
were mainly a
pleasure and now
the eighties are
almost less than
closer to what they
coffffhrrrmmmph
might be but that's
life on the edge of
adventure : )

four really pretty teen girls.
A happy singing commercial created in the eighties.
I was stunned by their enthusiastic joy and prettiness.
I cannot remember what they were selling.
Maybe panty hose?
But I still sing their jingle fifty years later.
The purple moment of the canvassed dome
Pink pastel orgies like Miami in the eighties
A figure sits insignificantly on the periphery
To be of her dream is to need to be seen
In the drunken painter's delusion
If she weren't so high there'd be no coral sky
To chart our own dreams by
August 9, 2018
Music in her heart
Beating so strong
Lyrics in her heart
Jubilation in a song
Her sweet memory on the rocks
People seen on her locks
Voice of Eighties recalled
Fame of Twenties unfold
Cara, a face in a melodious tongue
Simplicity in her lang
Irene, "What A Feeling" in a smash prance
What a healing in a Flash Dance!
(In memory of Micheal Jackson)
An icon he was, Our king of
Pop
Rising during the Eighties, to
the Very top
Making himself out to be, the
cream of the crop
Carrying on for his Public, as
if he couldn't stop
Like, he for Our undivided at-
tention, wished to shop
Only to leave Us, at age 50,
causing for Our hearts to drop
Suduko, Bollywood, LOL, IDK
Racino, tighty-whities, LGBTQ
Labradoodle, stevia, BFF
Terms and words unheard of in the seventies
Or eighties
Or nineties
But no one back in the day would have guessed
A convicted felon who says he wants to be a dictator
Would be elected to the Presidency of the USA either
We now live in La La Land
The new owners
marveled at the
long forgotten perky mini doilies
with their dainty white petals
two layers of weeds away
from soft pink hollyhocks
hidden for forty years
alongside the forgotten abandoned barn
a human had probably not seen
any of these dainty delights since the eighties
when the farm was lost by the family
to bankruptcy
