LIFE IN THE FIFTIES

I am an American
Irish and Dinglish
But I left the old world behind
My friends--different faiths
Found some black DNA
Black lives matter
Found some Chinese
Like Chinese cooked food
Love fifties music
Ray Charles Elvis the voice
Love animals and kids
OK I have trouble with Dumocrats
But my best friend is one
What you gonna do?
He thinks he is smarter than me
I have two best friends
All the way from grade school
One owe the other $75
Way back in the fifties for a boat
Last night I called my friend
From the second grade still friends
Today I well go see the one from
high school sports days
Why can't the world get along
German French Irish we are all Americans
I don't think any of us like tarriest
robbers and thieves
Muslims who love America are friends
First thing to wipe out is drug use
Remember the fifties?
When kids could play outside
When everyone was welcome in the game
Bring back Elvis and the fifties
