1955

Nineteen Fifty-Five by David S Livens





It’s 1955,

Jimmy Dean has hit the scene,
And Doris Day is here to stay,

It’s 1965,

Jimmy Dean is sadly gone,
But his legacy lives on and on,

It’s 1975,

Where are you Jimmy? Some still cry,
But most accept stars come and die,

It’s 1985,

Jedi Knights invaded screens,
And giant sharks devoured teens,

It’s 1995,

Acid came and flowed like wine,
But too much fun’s a dangerous crime,

It’s 2005,

Seems life gets better every minute,
We’re ill informed and stuck right in it.
