Song For Our Children Poem by Frank Avon

Song For Our Children

Rating: 5.0


some fifty years ago, or so


Flip-flop was a poodle
A long, long time ago

Dancers whirled
in another world
A long, long time ago

Bonzo was a big, bad bear
who chased a girl with golden hair
and vanished into sky-blue air
A long, long time ago

Pandora's box
Aladdin's ring
of hearts the queen
of kings the king

once in fine rhetoric tones
we swapped for custom-made millstones
