8 Track Mind
Written By Semper Fi Reborn
He came from the Planet 1970,
In a Lava Lamp Rocket.
He had Barry White blasting from the HiFi,
A dashiki in his pocket.
He came to buy a Buick Deuce and a quarter,
With whitewall tires.
If it didn't have a diamond in the back,
He'd kidnap Earth, Wind, and Fire.
He used to hang out with the Emotions,
Play darts with Andy Gibb.
He played tennis with Billy Jean King,
And burned a bra for women's lib.
When Captain and Tenille were busy singing,
Do that to me one more time.
He was in his mothers basement,
Creating an 8 Track Mind.

twas a gelid winter's night
in a small texas town
that little baby 8 track
fell to the ground
in a tyed dyed dashiki
and peter frampton hair
his mother and father
oh what despair!
he stole a guitar
from a guy in "bread"
and put timothy leary
chemicals in his head
he wrote the songs
sometimes you hear
but mostly now,
he sits around wasting his dagnab time on yahoo answers and drinking beer.
thankx for the tribute, but, i am still on vacation.

Haven't heard "deuce and a quarter" since there was one! Who told you about all this stuff? You're not old enough to know things like this! Semper, you're good! Really good. You're also getting old..... Me? I could write a poem about the fifties! (I think I just depressed myself)!

Awesome! It is awesome because I know all of the references. Which makes me pretty old, huh? I am sure 8TM will love it.

Under normal circumstances I'd say he'll love it, but......well.....you wrote it using words! His poems never use words! lol
