Analysis of 1920 TO 1929
I am the roaring twenties
And the cotton club.
I am Al Capone and his
Thugs.
I am the rise of
Joseph Stalin.
I am the age of science
And penicillin.
I am Walt Disney and
Mickey Mouse.
I am electricity in
My house.
I am the stock
Market Crash.
I am the first Academy
Award bash.
I am Miss America pageant
The first time.
I am Valentino dies reads
The headlines.
I am the great depression
Sweeps the land.
I am Lindbergh on north
Atlantic flight plan.
I am Betty Crocker and
Wonder bread.
I am the great migration
Watch me spread.
I am speakeasies and Gerber
Baby food.
I am the age of jazz puts
You in the mood.
I am the womans right to
Vote, 19th amendment.
I am seven-up, Coca cola's
First resentment.
