Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFBGHIBJJKL MNOP QJRSK T QUI'm sitting in a sixties bar No put on | A |
All around old Rolling Stones music is playing | B |
I can tell it's a sixties bar by the spiffy waiter recycling sheets for | C |
tablecloths The sixties was into environment | D |
It's the eighties now as Heineken was unobtainable in | E |
Someone reminds me in order to run a tab a credit card is needed | F |
This seems logical but very out of sorts with the people power complex I'm nurturing | B |
Even the jokes above the bar are old hat | G |
This confirms with certainty that Madcaps is Nostalgia | H |
It's too built up for Sha Na Na fintails or Nancy Sinatra's | I |
These Boots Are Made For Walking | B |
In my sensible decade that tune is considered sadistic Obviously | J |
the effect is too sophisticated to imagine I'm even a temporary | J |
time traveller Still poetry is a communicable disease | K |
invented in the 's by a snooty degenerate named Pound | L |
- | |
I bide my time It's an oasis for waiting Old time experiences seem strangely current in this campy pub | M |
Occasionally someone in a zoot suit comes in but realizes he's missed the last act of Grease | N |
Old Blue Eyes might make it here if he looked like Bogart in drag | O |
Like them Presley was by passed by the theme of this decade | P |

There's a fleshy table and chairs with a knock out chick that looks like my Bridge Over Troubled Waters | Q |
The waiter scowls like vintage Ben Casey | J |
Beehive hairdos mingle casually with early Mod | R |
Rockers wishing Cherry Reds are served drinks instead | S |
Comfortable sleaze | K |
- | |
The window is up on the future now and New Wave is out to spray paint graffiti artists all the way | T |
- | |
Either you are part of the solution or you are part of the problem Now there's a sixties homily that still delivers | Q |
Nice to think the social history of three decades is indistinguishable and that silence comes as its own reward | U |
