1930 TO 1939



I am the empire state
Building opens.
   I am Nazi Germany  
Invades Poland.

   I am the 21st amendment
Ending prohibition.
   I am Life magazine's
First Addition.

   I am the Star-spangled banner
National anthem.
   I am Lindbergh's son kidnapped,
No ransom.

   I am the great dust  
Bowl Event.
   I am Franklin Roosevelt as
The President.

   I am the Golden Gate Bridge
Is complete.
   I am John Dillinger gunned  
Down in the street.

   I am the San Francisco
Ballet opens.
   I am Amelia Earhart flies
Across the ocean.

   I am Alcatraz opens  
It's Door.
   I am Hitler becomes Fuhrer
And starts the war.

   I am Alcoholics Anonymous  
There is a better way.
   I am the FBI born,  
Hoover seized the day.
