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.
