MANIC MONDAY
suggests a 'SPICE' theme
The Spice Girls may have been nothing more than a British phenomenon ( exported to Oz as all British things are), so I apologise to other readers to whom this is incomprehensible.
THE SPICE GIRLS
They were naughty, they were nice;
They were sugar, they were spice.
Ten years ago they knew such fame!
Everybody knew the name.
The Spice Girls! Icons of their time!
Silly, maybe, or sublime.
Teenage girls made future plans
To sing such songs and thrill such fans.
Now, it seems, there's only Posh
Who causes viewers to cry 'Gosh!'
And, in her case, it is her spouse
Who's really bringing down the house!
Time marches on for all it seems;
Ambitions end as faded dreams.
The teenage fans are now, I think,
Standing at the kitchen sink,
Humming tunes inconsequential
That once seemed heady and essential.
It all ended in a trice
Those long-lost days that were marked by
Spice!
It was ever thus here:

That's life!
Oh yes, American knew the Spice girls.. Their music made it into my classroom on the lips of the kids, and the girls are wanted to be them. Now I wonder if they even remember them?
I remember when they were big in the U.S., about 13 years ago. Mel B has gained subsequent fame from "Dancing With the Stars" a very popular show on network tv. She really was good.
Most enjoyable. I enjoyed today's offerings, and I'm broadcasting the fact that visiting your blog is a must.
Didn't I read that the Spice Girls were making a come-back?
I never was a Spice Girls fan, but I remember they caused quite a sensation.
me too - have heard about these spicy gentlewomen..!!! Sad the spice is lost.
