Each generation has its own memories <br />But nothing to compare to the good <br />Old fifties and sixties. <br />These were the years of the birth of rock <br />Mini skirts and bobby socks. <br />A bit of jazz, a bit of soul <br />Putting them together it took control. <br /> <br />Then came ELVIS with his gyrating hips <br />Making all the young girls <br />Pucker up their lips. <br />Every song was a story to be told <br />And the concert tickets all were sold. <br /> <br />The MOON GLOWS, THE HEARTBEATS, <br /> THE FLAMINGOES and such <br />Had us all hypnotized to this touch. <br />These songs would touch our hearts and souls <br />And dancing to this music <br />Our lives would unfold. <br /> <br />Our parents would scream and holler <br />And tell us to stop. <br />Then the twist came out <br />And their minds would pop. <br />They joined this craze that shook the world <br />Of every young boy and girl. <br />No other generation has been able to compare <br />To the love songs of yesteryear.<br /><br />louis rams<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-twisting-fifties-and-sixties/
