So my dad challenged me to write a poem using as many David Bowie songs as I could within it. I tried my hardest to achieve it so, here it is.

12/7/14

Rising up to Fame

And the Rebel, Rebel is to blame

It's just a Space Oddity

No need for the formality

Are you just Aladdin Sane

It's Valentines Day

Hide the music Underground

Let's Dance in the sound

Three cheers for The Man Who Sold The World

Ziggy Stardust, went and gave it a whirl

This is just a, Rock And Roll Suicide

Trying to stay alive

And she's just a Queen Bitch

Living without getting hitched

And All The Young Dudes

Have The Next Day news

I Am A DJ

Wanting a small break

Living as Heroes Under Pressure

You try to help her

Making Changes, Station To Station

When Life On Mars voids the Starman

Going from Ashes To Ashes

In your stupid Fashion

These Cat People with their Modern Love

Have a Sense Of Doubt, they've had enough

A China Girl in a world of Young Americans

God, I'm Afraid Of Americans

You ask, As The World Falls Down

Where Are We Now?

In this Suffragette City

Or this Moonage Daydream

We've got Five Years

Those Golden Years

This Magic Dance is called I'm Deranged

This Is Not America, I'm afraid

The year is 1984

And at 5:15 The Angels Are Gone

'87 And Cry

Friday On My Mind

And he says to the girl "Oh! You Pretty Things"

When his wife at the club says "John, I'm only Dancing"

And then a Jean Genie comes up to me

And it turns out she just Can't Help Thinking About Me

I can go on, but he has hundreds of songs and I'm not making that long a poem. But hope you enjoyed this anyway. (:
