Little green sheep

This is not Paris in the 20's

thoughtfully

there is more to it than a post war celebration

an

incantation of fatherless girls displaying

mojave swirls

lure fishing for the surviving male contingent,

no matter

how stringently they conform

to the school rules

the 20's fools firmly forgot                 to

enjoy the...                                     .

a repeat of the same victorian

victorious

defeat,

helped to stand to attention

to get up on their dancing cocaine feet

unaware

of

the

intention

for

the

next ensuing trial   of

mans' repeated scientific invention,

little did they know 

that their dancing lights

would be put to shame

by an effervescent blast from the 'H' bomb

now of renound fame,

still

the women of the 20's

danced 

with the memories

of their husbands' 

fair name,

what a flapping 

shame

often

it will happen again
