1977
The King was dead
our mothers crying.
I still remember
Elvis dying.
Those punk pounded days
not easily forgotten.
When Sid was Vicious
and Johnny was Rotten.
Marc Bolan, hair curly
The Metal Guru.
A passenger in his Mini
An untimely death too.
American cop series
too many, too much.
The Rockford Files, Kojak
Starsky and Hutch.
BBC’s 1 and 2
And then ITV.
Flag waving patriots, the
Queen’s silver jubilee.
All this I remember
All this and much more.
I was much younger then
when life was no chore.
