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 give you AIDS
Just monkeys, needles, and a Dirty Dance
Sex is best when it's One-on-One
Or just keep that rascal in your pants
What more could you expect
In this land without a care
Everyone's politically correct
Call the Police if you dare
Oh so restless and so lonely
She really wants to hurt me
This Iron Maiden is ferocious
Her wrinkles are so precocious
She puts out the crimson light
Greets Mister G with the crimson scar
Love is in the radioactive air tonight
She coos and plays her national guitar
Dick and Don stroke their kitten
The Actor Zombie was bitten
Mister G, tear down this wall!
We'll live in peace after all...
As we grow up we won't fail
We live in the age of Get Your Wish
Ignore the taunts of the white whale,
So long, and thanks for all the fish!
I woke her up with my screams
This bout of nostalgia was a killer
Ghosts busting into my dreams
Like a grim fairy tale, a thriller
Just a dream is what they all say
My wife is trying to calm me
While I look at the ceiling and pray
She walks into the bathroom calmly
She wipes my face with a cool towel
But I see something in Christine's face
A hint of misery like a silent howl
She stands, goes to the window and waits

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
