Then and Now<br />
She Rocks Away<br />
Irene Livingston<br />
Miranda Jane is just the cutest thing.<br />
Her Mamma sets her in her cradle-bed.<br />
She rocks away and even tries to sing.<br />
She’s now a lovely teen, no more to cling<br />
To Daddy; she’s a wild one, it is said.<br />
Miranda Jane is just the cutest thing.<br />
The boys go dancing just to watch her swing<br />
Her perfect body, toss her pretty head.<br />
She rocks away and even tries to sing.<br />
At last Miranda finds a job. Ka-ching!<br />
She dances and she strips to earn her bread.<br />
Miranda Jane is just the cutest thing.<br />
She doesn’t hear the final curtain ring.<br />
As years go by and heavy is her tread.<br />
She rocks away and even tries to sing.<br />
Tonight the nurse comes fondly in to bring<br />
her cup of cocoa with her evening med.<br />
Miranda Jane is just the cutest thing.<br />
She rocks away and even tries to sing.<br />
Old and <strong>New</strong><br />
Angela Burns<br />
Where do myths and legends go,<br />
When no one hears their tales<br />
What lessons, truths will ne'er be told<br />
Because our interest fails<br />
What newer dreams will spring from old<br />
What seeds be sown again<br />
What tales of wonder will unfold<br />
What memories remain<br />
