Merissa

Jazz Age Vocab Poem:

The 20´s were swell

That is what´s thought

All was just goofy

Mind was for naught

 

The Flappers were peppy

While cake eaters prowl

Surrounded by giggle water

Making things foul

 

The main drags are full

With belly laughs abound

They’re shouting whoopee

And no flat tires are found

 

Gold diggers are gliding

With hearts set on riches

They look for a big cheese

That will pay for their britches

 

Plenty of gatecrashers

Can always be seen

They’re usually ossified

By the end of the scene

 

There’s a lot of baloney

With events like these

Bound to be a pinch

When nobody sees

 

Itś the beeś knees

And theyŕe having fun

Their dogs will be barking

When the party is done

 

The places are swanky

The women are keen

But at the end of the day

The men are just mean
