While I reflect I never turn back
An innocent phrase and video clip
Got me caught up in a memory track
Now my mind is on a long backwards trip
Hair spray, tight pants - lots of glamour and glitz
The music was great and it came all dressed
In stripes and leather, big curls, boots with bits
I found something then that I have liked best
While others find peace in old childhood dreams
No innocence found for me in that time
Few moments for me were happy it seams
So I take what I had and make it rhyme
So what if many want that decade gone
I came alive briefly and found my song

Poetry: The 80's
by Joeyg
Back in the 80's..........
Torn shirts and wild hair
Hard rock was a ride,
Creating who I was
Funky images outside.
Drank beer
Big permed hair, MTV
The mall was the place to be
Billy Idol, Rebel Yell
We all have stories to tell
Jelly shoes, parachute
We were born in the USA
Buy it now; put it on credit
Material girls never pay
Sign here and don't sweat it
Mosquitos won't
It is all history now, but
There was a time when MTV really played music videos.
There was a time when Jelly's and BIG HAIR
It is quite funny
when she asks if I won
for this picture she found
was nothing but fun
Big hair was the style
Bright colors
