The pop culture references
I’m just a little too young for some of it but it’s a picture of my young childhood, except the cocaine but I suspect the adults around me. Nice job keeping the format intact throughout.

Great job,

I absolutely...
remember every one of those references. But I don't think this one is germane to the title intention. I think that it would most likely be better if it is put in the Candlewitch challenge, which is not a proper challenge; but it does meet poem of the week criteria. I certainly would vote for it! ~ Geezer.

The Decades
Hi, Turbo,
You've done a great job with all of these memories from the 60s and 70s. I remember all of them. (Those "clackers" would probably be considered a weapon now.) Your rhyme is pretty impressive, too! A fun poem, I really enjoyed this.
