Gen X or the
MTV generation.
See a big growth in the
Dept. of education.
A generation of latchkey
Kids home alone.
Rocky hits the box office,
With Sylvester Stallone.
New music with attitude,
The intro to Punk Rock.
Women working,
punching a time clock.
They heard Heavy Metal
Being born.
They witnessed the troops
In Desert Storm.
The first generation to play
Video games.
They watched the Challenger
explode into flames.
Another great movie the
Breakfast Club.
They were the era for
The War on Drugs.
They saw the emergence of
The AIDS epidemic.
They remember terrorism
at the Munich Olympics.
No more Berlin Wall to separate
the east and west sides.
They remember Jim Jones,
And his mass suicide.
They can come off
As a little cynical.
On social issues they
Are more liberal.
The Exxon oil spill,
They tried to lie.
The divorce rate hits,
An all-time high.
They had cable TV to
keep them company.
They experienced a
Single-parent family.

and furthermore, i've made a catalogue of
100000 precious
objects; in my home
one of them is
the
toaster
and there is only
one spreading knife in the house
but we laugh at the
past, not realising we will be laughed at,
like Sylvester Stallone
asking
after toilet paper
in Demolition Man
it was an
awkward moment
but so is a car doing a u-turn
in front of you as you
sit tutting and sighing
then the
kids in the back sigh
as the Mary Rose sank in
full view of
the king
he must have tutted and sighed as well
There was a man named S. Stallone;
Who used to fly his drone;
But during a break,
he made a mistake;
What a terrible day to crash and not fly or flown;

Once was a man his name was S. STALLONE;
Who used to fly his Rocky Drone?
But during a break;
He made a mistake;
What a terrible day it crash not flown...

Three stars decided to make a movie one night
Stallone said, "I'd like to act, like I'm in a fight!"
George Clooney then said,
"I,ll direct instead!"
Mcconaughey said, "I'll write, I'll write, I'll write!"
Fifty-Nine Dead, 597 Injured by Gun—US Tragedy—We continue to kill each with abandon!
Needles without thread
Stallone without stones
Marriage without love
Man without his gun
Romeo without Juliet
Parson without parish
Ocean without motion
Man without his gun
John without Marsha
Taylor without arrows
Pryor without fire
Man without his gun
Joplin without McGee
Monroe without Joltin' Joe
George Herman without Babe
Man without his gun
More dead, more guns
Blood spewing forth, more guns
Insanity embraced, more guns
A mother pleads, take your guns to town boy
A mother and 58 more plead, here are my sons, my daughters
I provide them to you, use your guns, do what you must, kill them
Guns, embraced by the ultimate lethal weapon, man…more guns, more guns
The aging process is unstoppable
As we watch our youth slide by
Our heads try to tell us we’re younger
But, our bodies feel the lie
So it’s off to the gym to experience
Some sweat, grunt, and grown
Hopefully with a bit of effort
I can get to look like ‘Stallone’
New trainers and vest are needed
To replace my dated attire
The tracksuit that once fit me
Fails to cover my bulging ‘spare tyre’
Neglect and over indulgence
Have certainly taken their toll
Repairing these bits won’t be easy
So in future...... ’I’ll exercise, more self-control’
The key, for me, must be those onion domes.
Concentric skins, like Russian dolls, contain:
they don’t obtrude. Defensive rings explain
the posture. Let’s not bother Sherlock Holmes
with this one. Save Bill Bailey’s fine-tooth combs.
They feared for Minsk, like others fear for Maine.
The Wall was there, so brains would cease to drain
towards those tail-fins, all decked out in chrome.
They tried to build a comely comfort-zone,
a space to place a hundred home-grown flowers.
We couldn’t wait to see it overthrown
(Archangel, Wayne, Polaris, Gary Powers,
Capone, Stallone, Cohns, drones and Sharon Stone).
They wanted only to be left alone.

They nicknamed Doris Day the girl next door
But she never lived next door to me.
Sting is known as sting but isn't a bee.
Davy Jones was known as a monkey
But I never saw him swing through trees.
The called big John Wayne the Duke
But he wasn't born within aristocracy.
Lana Turner was known as the sweater girl
But I never saw her sweat.
They call the invisible man invisible
But I haven't seen him yet.
Tarzan was known as the king of the jungle
But go tell that to a lion
Your title wouldn't have a lot to rely on.
Jane Mansfield was known as the blonde bomb shell
So get ready to run like hell.
Elvis was known as the pelvis
But there must have been more to him than that.
Bridget Bardot was know as the sex kitten
But wasn't a cat.
James Brown was known as the Godfather but
Didn't join the mob.
Sylvester Stallone Was known as the Italian stallion?.

Next month I'll be fifty
What rhymes with fifty?
Sixty
Ten years to make fifty
the new thirty
Get down and dirty
Like Stallone and Willis
Maybe buy a few guns
"Yeah we bad."
"How we gonna hit em Sly?"
"I don't wanna DIE HARD!"
"No John Wayne Gacy for me."
Try to breeth like Jack Nickelson
I can feel it allready
An unimaginable ammount
Of cool being showered
Down on me
All I have to do is
Keep my mouth shut
When he died, sadly he died all alone.
The person who I'm speaking of was Sage Stallone.
He got to star with his father in Rocky V.
It's a terrible thing that he's no longer alive.
He was only thirty-six, it's wrong to check out at that age.
Now many people mourn as they say goodbye to Sage.
(Dedicated to Sage Stallone who died July 13, 2012.)
Ive worn out these old cowboy boots to walk an endless plank of timeless dreams, you leave no trace except a tread mark of my broken heart.
I bare these wrinkeled scares to spare a portrait of this old town and country! I dared to go,is now a vivid memory of a playless rodeo I once had.
Moving on pass these stables of my home, knowing theres no way back I am sure to let go as I fleece with nothing but the wind of a wild horse where you were once my stallone, now just another spur on a pair of worn out cowboy boots, i am left to run free like: WILD HORSES.
Stallone as Rocky
The tough guy with a soft heart
We will him to win
Hes there.
There when I walk her..
Home.
Hes there.
There when you answer your..
Phone.
Hes there.
There when we think we are..
Alone.
Hes..
Hes a Stalker..
Drone!
An eighth grade..
Clone!
Talks about you in a loving..
Tone!
Hes there.
There with hair from your..
Comb.
Hes there.
There laying in the grass..
Prone.
Hes there.
There when we think we are..
Alone.
Hes..
Hes a Stalker..
Drone!
An eighth grade..
Clone!
Talks about you in a loving..
Tone!
I should've..
Thrown.
Thrown a..
Stone.
Thrown until it was just..
Moan.
Thrown until it was just..
Groan.
Knocked him out like Sylvester..
Stallone.
But now.
Now your indefinitely..
Postponed.
Dethroned.
Gone.
And still he is..
Hes a Stalker..
Drone!
An eighth grade..
Clone!
Talks about you in a loving..
Tone!
