back in the day
back in the day
we polished our shoes
laid out our clothes
put our hair up in curls with pointy picks
on Saturday nights
back in the day
it was church every Sunday
chicken or beef with noodles for lunch
always pie, cake and Jello
then a visit to grandma’s house
back in the day
we ironed our clothes
using sprinkled starch
dressed up to go on airplanes
purposefully did not swear
felt safe at school
back in the day
