Monday Morning Memo

A Happy Poem written about Hit Songs from the 70’s remembered in the spirit of “American Pie.”

SNAPSHOTS OF THE 70’s

Every word of this poem was written by a human but it is being sung by a robot that has been studying humans all its life. Give him a break. He’s doing the best he can.
– Indy Beagle

Bill Withers says “Lean on Me”

Beatles say “Let It Be”

Baby, it’s the Seventies.
Everyone just wants to be free.

Carly says “You’re So Vain.” 

Arlo says “The City of New Orleans” is the name of a train 

S and G want to be your “Bridge Over Troubled Water”

But if that bridge goes both ways, it’s a teeter-totter

Gloria Gaynor says, “I Will Survive”

And the Bee Gees say they be talkin’ “Jive”

Tina sings “Proud Mary” on a riverboat 

but out in the street,

Creedence Clearwater Revival sings “Bring a nickle, tap your feet.”

Everybody gotta have something.

Fleetwood Mac has got their “Dreams” 

Olivia wants to get “Physical”
