1961 - Freedom riders

The USA tries to replace Castro
The Bay of Pigs invaders run squealing
And Fidel realises he must go
To Russia for protection, thus leading
To the missile crisis. Ike goes, warning
Of the military-industrial complex
JFK's here, stands up for West Berlin
As the Wall goes up, and to combat Viets
Sends 'military advisers'...A Soviet
Spy ring's found in London, but they are so
Quick, with Yuri first in space, exploding
The world's biggest bomb ever, but then let's
Admit the Yanks soon caught up (Apollo)
But their southern civil rights were wanting
