A Quick Dose of Nostalgia

Tape 1

One needs a quick dose of nostalgia
To use “Cripes” or “Good Morrow” or “Wowser”
But after one fix
The centuries mix
And a Walkman just brings on neuralgia.

Tape 2

The colour of envy’s well known
Those who suffer all seem to be prone
To excess of bile
Which after a while
Grows gripping—so grim that they groan.
