A Diary of 1987 by: Mary Weeks

The secrets told the secrets kept The quiet whispers The truth unveiled Here it comes... I love the 80's

Contacts being sold commercially You can see why I fell in love People could finally see 1987 you are definitely for me

You "gotta have the faith, the faith, the faith." George Michael's album "Faith" rocked It made my headphones BOP and BOP

Prozac debuts in the USA Causing depression to go away! Well..... at least for the day.

The Simpsons first come on the TV screen 1987 you make me want to SCREAM! Who invented this show? Bart Simpson put down that YO-YO!

Thank goodness for the hero of 1987 So brawny, and fierce Tom Selleck's mustache saved the day In that popular movie "Three men and a baby."

The FDA approved AZT A miracle drug to treat Aids It fights for the life of many innocent souls Thank goodness for 1987

The president was Ronald Regan He was popular in films, and TV. The wistful western or romantic, but of course there weren't any DVD's!

Which brings me to Michael Jackson A singer and dancer above the rest He made so many hit albums but I argue his best was in 1987 "BAD!"

Just like the Iran Contra Affair which was really sad and BAD. The affair was BAD, real BAD, WE know it! BAD!

Turn that frown upside down Because we also had new transplants Like the first Heart and Lung transplant It made people live, and gave hope to many It gave hope to Jenny, Linny, and Kenny

Oh and then Black Monday Spoiled our moods The stock market crashed And made us all blue

All ended up well, and 1987 was interesting, complex, but ultimately swell!
