History Museums
History museums
Never seem to let me down,
No matter what the country
Or the city or the town.
From homes and music of the past
To cars and toys and fashion,
It's fun to reenact those times
Once lived with so much passion.
In Minnesota, an exhibit
Geared to World War II,
Had so much I remembered,
Though my birth was not yet due:
Soda fountains, pay phones
With those rotary-type dials,
Movies made in black and white
And cars in retro styles.
Pepsodent commercials,
Alfred Hitchcock, Humphrey, Clark,
Betty Boop and Girl Scout badges -
Memories did spark.
A history museum
Brings us back to where we were
Or where we might have been
To watch those happenings occur.
