70s poem

The decade of glitz 
Earth, wind and fire 
A time when great people were born 
Alas King Elvis legacy unexpectedly scorn..

The new seekers brought us to life
And Jason King figured out many a conundrum to bring to justice.
A time where flared trousers were fashionable 
And afros hit a new beautiful height 
And glam rock delivered a shining light.

Connors and Borg were the princes of the tennis court
And pans people danced to a merry tune,
“Showing your age!”
I shall hear
Yet I am proud to be born at a time where things were taken less seriously
Rather than not knowing, and less mysteriously.

So much more I could say,
Cat Stevens sang Rubylove
And Elton John chanted crocodile rock,
And there were only 3 channels on the tele
An era where love held its own
And Nixon brought  watergate scares
Yet the 70s encouraged youngsters to capture a trade
And the dawning of the 80s enlightened the stage.
