In 1973
I was a teenager to be
I turned thirteen
And was real keen
In 1973
Momma's nut was the macadamia
Ricky's love was the encyclopedia
Cousin visits from Romania
Sometimes causes mass hysteria
But there's always been one basic
The family's love for all things music

Rare collections,love it
The music I was raised on! My musical parents were in college in 73, and passed it all down. Great poem, thanks for sharing!
Ha! Never knew Alice Cooper was behind that song. It's amazing how your mind knows more songs than you can remember. It takes reading a piece like this to ignite those memories. Awesome! Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful poem and list. Well done.
Very Nice! I smell another Top Story! 😀
Excellent work and some good music
