In his twenties band
Louis ' music fell from his hand,
The lyrics left his head
He used his voice instead-
Scat-singing then,baked his bread.
with that orange hat
I would have matched my lipstick
Said a teen of the twenties
Who did not know
We did not have that lip color
in the sixties
He whom dwells therein that bottle is I.
An entire teen-hood just squandered away.
A foolish sot throughout my twenties; Aye!
Inching thirty, I'm found longing change's day.
Paul Simon was an island
with his books and his poetry
to protect him...
In his twenties, Simon couldn't see
~ Poets, too, crave camaraderie
self confidence oozed out of her
she married and divorced two men before she was twenty-one
few women had that kind of confidence in the twenties
Marguerite is my grandmother
Time flies by at warp speed
and years go swiftly
Children grow into adults
and have children of their own
I feel like I should still be in my twenties,
not well over fifty.

Prohibiting alcohol back in the twenties
Was doomed from the start, like prohibiting wedgies
Favorite stunt of mine
Game for it anytime
However, as long as there's no warm caressing
Surviving

Paycheck
Paycheckless
Overdrawn
Again
There goes five twenties
I was saving for education
Spent
Instead
On a pair of underwear
My self esteem
Ousts my stability
Back in the rip-roaring days of the twenties
Free sex was available and there sure was plenty
While doing the Jelly Roll
Girl's parts they would show
And men started flashing their twenties
When I was young and still in my twenties
Thought eighty was ancient, never thought eventually
I'd be older than dirt
Instead of a squirt
Just yesterday against the wall, I was tossing pennies

knowing my feelings
use to be so hard
told that I had none
teens and twenties hard
later life mellow
feelings I know
understanding
I try to be
faith something else
too much lies
betrayal
no more trust
no fear
believe
what?
They
were in
their twenties
when their future
brutally ended.
On this chilly morning,
the snow had put downy wreaths
on the white crosses. I never
tried to count them. There are too many,
and it is not a large cemetery.
Back in the rip roaring days of the twenties
Free sex was available and there sure was plenty
While doing the Jelly Roll
Girl's parts they would show
And men started flashing their twenties

Time
this summer sky is what we had in the twenties
I stared at my great-great-aunt
wanting to say this is the twenties
an old- fashioned day, she said
when women wore lace gloves and dresses
and lace petticoats I added, feeling mean
Wind
on a
warm summer
day. Fir limbs sway
like a flapper from
the roaring twenties. The
breeze carries a resinous
scent of pitch and earth, unleashing
a flood of memories thought lost to
time. The campfire smoke and embers still glow.
Being twenty again would be a thrill,
guess that will not happen.
As a child there were many things,
I did not understand.
The green monster jealousy was one,
thinking it was a child's thing.
This would live on in my twenties.
Limerick: Once a lean Lecher in his nineties
Once a lean Lecher in his nineties
Wondered if he could relive his twenties:
He went on a diet
Of French fries and cutlet:
The Wench said it felt like rigor mortis !

So says Uncle Charlie, “I'm a bank robber of note”
Spent time behind bars, to a life of crime he did devote
Don't know whether I'm proud
Shouldn't talk about him out loud
Or keep him a secret, it was back in the twenties quite remote
We pennies are coppers
Quarters, two bits
We dollars are bucks or singles
Five dollars, five-spots or fins
Tens are (or were) sawbucks
Twenties, doubly so
We hundreds are C-spots or 'G's ~
Who says we're 'all about the Benjamins'
