Ball of dirty ice
Faintly glowing in the sky
Haley was a joke

Little pudgy faces
Women fighting to buy them
Cabbage patch madness

Siver mirrow discs
My old 45's digitized
Tapes are obsolete

Victory in Berlin
People clammer on broken stone
No wall devides them

This can't happen
Turned into a roman candle
The shuttle explodes

Death zone expands
Helpless to stop the melt down
Pray for Chernobyl

I bought a French cabbage patch when they ran out of the regulars..cost me over 50 way back then...

do you remember 8 tracks? and then there were those movie discs and players the size of  33 1/3 records..darn if I didn't buy one for my husband for Christmas and the next week they were obsolete...


That's how I feel sometimes...obsolete ...

This was THE BEST decade!  So much more captured in the mental annuls but these are some worthy snapshots...

8 tracks...yeppers...I had the greats on track...Zeppelin, Floyd, Skynrd (wait, is that how you spell it.) LOL  Been out of the early eighties daze too long...seems like yesterday and seems like a lifetime ago.

Thanks for the 80's memory trip!
