Poem
Remember when you were very young, how we would play cowboys and Indians. We would dress up the best we could, we would come alive with our characters. Today I am the good guy and you are the bad one, tomorrow I am the bad guy and you are the good one. We would live, we would die by our toy guns. Then we would play being a bank robber, one a good guy and one the bad guy. With masks on and with our toy guns, we were off for a day of fun. The next day you were the bad guy, I was the good guy as we played until the day was done. Shoot them up shows, were on all the TV channels. Both kids and adults had their favorites, each week to watch with anticipation. Who got killed this week, who lived another week was a thrill. Guns were a blazing, both good and bad guys were full of action. We all knew, it was a TV show for us to enjoy. Remember when you were very young, things were much simpler then. All ages knew right from wrong, good from bad. Respect filled the home, love was everywhere. We knew how to play with our toy guns, we had a ton of fun. The guns were just toys, they brought out creativity and imagination. Boy how times have changed, some for the good and some for the bad. It reminds me, of the old time TV shows.
