Poems
The Magnificent 80's
by Jennifer Pitcock
Alf and the Goonies, raggedy jeans,
Kajagoogoo was always Too Shy,
Lamborghini, Ferrari, Malibu Barbie,
Miami Vice and Magnum, P.I.
Smurfs and Transformers, The Secret of NiMH,
Dr. Who didn't know Who's the Boss.
New Coke and Kool-Aid, synthesizer dreams,
Revisiting the Land of the Lost.
Braces and slouch socks, Popples and Snorks,
Teddy Ruxpin, Madonna, and big hair.
David Bowie was a Goblin King, Def Leppard was Hysterical,
Reagan and Gorbechev forgot the Carebear Stare.
Home computer appliance Blinded us with Science,
The Unsinkable Queen of the Sea was finally found.
Challenger exploded, the Iron Curtain corroded,
Timber! The Berlin Wall came tumbling down.
