Living in the 80’s
What a joy,
It was so much fun
I was a tomboy.
Fluro clothes,
Lycra and leg warmers,
While on tv
Were the transformers.
Big hair was a must
Acid wash jeans,
Models wore them
In magazines.
Denim mini skirts
As short as can be
I’m sure, you will all agree.
Roller skating
At the roller disco
Dancing while you skate,
Feeling like a hero.
Playing Atari with friends
Having such a good time,
Don’t want it to end.
Water ring toss
Is a favourite of mine?
Not for sale anymore
There hard to find.
Recording songs
From the radio,
While watching
Our favourite tv show.
VHS and tape cassette’s
Dancing to music,
In my sweats.
Playing SIMON,
With colours so bright.
Simple Simon was always right.
Being cool, was having NIKE’S
If you had them, you’d be liked.
Bananarama and Madonna
Lead the way
In the music genre.
Safe we felt even at night,
Mum always said,
Come home, when you see,
the streetlight.
Riding bikes to friends’ houses,
In little groups, we road like mouses.
The 80’s kids are a strong breed,
We are as strong as a stampede
