Gloria (poem)
Gloria with her brother at 1976 Disco Championship
Once there was a girl Gloria her name
Who filled the dreams of every guy in school
Sheer beauty was the source of all her fame
And with it every young man’s heart she’d rule
-
And other girls would walk and talk like her
For Gloria was news again today
Hot rumors thrilled with kisses she’d confer
Another beau which she had cast away
-
For Gloria I didn’t stand a chance
An echo of a theme within my mind
So other girls I’d ask out to the dance
Whose response I thought might be bit more kind
-
Now that was days and years of long ago
But somehow fate brought Gloria to me
She bared how she had always loved me so
And with those words forever changed I’d be
