1744 - The old guard of the new wave

Can I write this sonnet while listening to
Old hits from late seventies radio
Of a new wave variety, so you
Should maybe think Annie Nightingale, though
Also Janice Long, Kid Jensen, but no,
Not really John Peel. Think the Boomtown Rats
Think Ian Dury, the Motors, Devo
Think Squeeze, Joe Jackson, Adam and the Ants
Hong Kong Garden's on this CD though - that's
Good, and Do Anything You Wanna Do
Rock Lobster's playing now. Life In Tokyo
Is coming up. Germ-Free Adolescents
(R.I.P. Poly). But now, Video
Killed The Radio Star fades out of view
