Good Old Days

When I was but a lonely child And all my friends were running wild I'd sit for hours in front of our old Black and white. Skelton, Gleason, Lucy too Talent that always ran so true I'd sit and laugh until my sides Would almost burst. Ed Sullivan always brought a smile Each week a new group would go on trial From England or our own U S of A. I thought those days were gone No laughter no new song Until one night I sat at my own laptop. A whole new world I did discover Something wonderful I did uncover Videos from those wonderful bygone days. All my old friends were waiting there Sullivan, Beatles, even Fred Astair Just waiting for me to have a look. Now, it's not an old black and white Not even color sets do entice I spend my time with my good ole laptop. Laughing, smiling, crying too All because a wondrous few Took the time to discover You Tube.
