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.
