Roaring Twenties
Click Here for Historical Context
Nostalgia and age like bacon and eggs,
With coffee and orange juice to drink;
And toast on the side for breakfast.
And a memory in-between to rethink.
The day begins in never-ending continuance:
Of routines, platitudes, and goodwill gestures.
With acceptance to living a life of convenience,
In-between the extremes of political postures.
Genius flourished during the ‘Noble Experiment.’
And Gibson girls dreamed to be flappers.
They were naïve of signals pervading the American dream.
From a generation revolt engaging decadent behavior.
In speakeasies patrons and taxi-dancers,
Relinquished their burdens and danced to jazzy tunes.
Women glitzy primped in short dresses and nylons:
Mascaraed their eyes and powdered their faces,
To hijack the agenda and then voted for daunting men.
