Howdy Doody Time

In a funky store that sells antiques, I made the coolest find – A bright red Howdy Doody watch, The kind you have to wind. The Howdy Doody Show was on When I was just a kid And watching it in black and white Was what we children did. Each week a group of lucky tykes Became part of the show. Alas, I had the measles when I had the chance to go. Nostalgia’s very powerful And certain things we’ve missed Are gone forever but not all, For now upon my wrist There is the watch that was The inspiration for this rhyme. To anyone who asks I’ll say, “It’s Howdy Doody time!”
