Reminiscence of My Childhood
By Franklin Price
12/1/2016

 Reminiscence of my childhood
Looking back on younger days
When life was not so hectic
Mass media not the craze

No such things as cell phones
We had a party line
Speaking to an operator
To call a friend was fine 

To look up information
An encyclopedia of course 
And other books of reference
Library was the source

Checked out books of interest
Could not down-load on the phone
Novels read from page to page
The turning put me in the zone

Check out time was just two weeks
Returning late there was a fine
An exorbitant  two cents a day
A large amount if it was mine

Computers filled more than a room
At least that's what I heard
Apple was a fruit to eat
Micro-soft  was not a word

Of course there was no texting
Conversations face to face
Meeting at the local drive-in
For a burger was the place

Reminiscence is so wonderful
It always makes me smile
I'll post this poem on Face-book
In just a little while
