Those Days of Fun
Yes, I do want to let my gray hair hang down.
But unlike my life, it has grown way too long!
Now, every day, I seek my heavenly crown.
But in my youth, my thoughts were free or headstrong.
I remember way back in my Army days.
Sitting on my suitcase, I smoked a cigar.
Newspaper photographers do have their ways.
I, prim and proper, left my training afar.
And there was the time by the fire hydrant.
I hiked up my leg; no dog had passed that way.
A picture was snapped; my humor caught … Brilliant!
Only twenty-five, I had fun in the day.
There might be tales I refuse to remember.
Like the time … Yikes! My car was shot with my gun.
I racked my brain to remember another –
But I will always recall; those days were fun!
