A Stroll Along Memory Lane

Images cascade before us Strolling 'long memory lane Lithe and supple were we back in those days Before decades of stresses and strain I jump high, pluck a leaf from a tree You twirl about and fall into me Shops seem so tiny and quaint Proprietors honest, without taint We stop at the drugstore for a soda Seated high atop spin-around stools Two straws but just one chocolate phosphate ~ Puppy lovers who play by the rules

I remember those days, with cherry cokes and tall bubbly malted milk glasses with stems!

Yes, I too shared a chocolate soda with one of my first dates. Back in my days of young when I thought a kiss on the cheek was having sex (lol). Love this!

Perhaps it depends which cheek(s) you're kissing there, Romeo. lol. Thanks, Charlie!

Nice verse Gershon. Without order in society there is chaos. What is sad is that dysfunctional families raise dysfunctional children. So much of what we see today is the result of the abuse of drug use during pregnancy and the child's detrimental mental development in the womb. Very similar to FASD (Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder).
