Remembering When

I remember when… Main Street was laid with dark red brick now it’s laid with black hot asphalt. The stench alone can make one sick with environmental assault. I remember when… Our radio was our television we could get broadcasts all around the world. Letting imagination envision as the “War of the Worlds” unfurled. I remember when… Buzz Aldrin stepped down on the moon how ecstatic our nation was. Dancing about on big sand dune setting communications abuzz. I remember when… On my first date, went to drive-in movie where we viewed the picture “Bonnie and Clyde”. We really dug it, thought it was groovy but saddened they were so young when they died. I remember when… Schools showed respect for country and to God with pledge of allegiance and morning prayer. Today they have spared the punishment rod and high esteem for beliefs we did share.

A pleasing aroma from the flesh pots of the past. Sloppy Joes were quite tasty if you could bite one.
