Soldiers returning, no jobs to be found, <br />Nothing to do but search around. <br />Violence filled the newstands <br />The first page showed blood on his hands. <br />This is how it all began. <br /> <br />Prohibition won the race, <br />Speakeasies reared its ugly face. <br />Growth of organized crime, <br />Made Al Capone do hard time <br />Prohibition was erase. <br /> <br />Young women fought for rights. <br />Flappers are still my knights. <br />Older women smirked, <br />While flappers worked <br />Women are equal to men. <br /> <br />Jazz was create, <br />It was well rated! <br />Ev'ry morning, Ev'ry evening, anit we got fun? <br />Dance with that person you want to call hon. <br />Now my 'Roaring Twenties' are done.<br /><br />Desirette E.
