Ode to the 20th Century

The crooners
Martin, Sinatra, Crosby, Como, Durante
Blithe, bouncy baritones
Young at heart
Looking at the moon
Singing for the twentieth century
With sinking ships,
Gore
Madmen
Camelot
Assignations
Assassinations
The rockers
Presley, Dylan, Lennon, Jagger, Bowie
Thumping drums and bass
Hound dog times changing
Picking up the pieces
From Watergate 
To the moral majority
And trickle-down economics

Let's forget it all
Put it behind us

This new century
Is well underway
