1910 Forever

1910 Forever Let’s see now my little fellow That will be .14 cents for the dozen eggs Laid fresh today .04 for the pound of sugar Sweeter than a sunny day .15 cents for the coffee beans And the conversation is entirely free The year is 1910 again forever Mark Twain, born when Halley’s Comet came I remember it like yesterday We would raft on the Mississippi all day He went out with the comet when it returned April 21st. 1910 is when he died While Halley streaked briefly in the sky Most men lived to be 47 So we had an extended time to play There were 45 states back then I only made .22 cents an hour at my job Working at the apothecary And so much fun in the sun When I was younger I would run real fast from the store with the goods Run even faster past the school Play hooky and get some fishing in I still live for 1910 If I had it to do over I would do it again
