My Friend Mickey

Absolutely loved old Mickey Mouse My all-time favourite character No matter what my age is chronologically Can't wait to crank up the projector As he carouses round the celluloid screen Fills my heart with great happiness His squeaky voice rings out loud and clear Always creating such rowdiness Remember the Wonderful World of Disney One in four was from Fantasyland Of course, I enjoyed the other three weeks But adored Mickey and his band Life was filled with joy back then Hoped we'd stay kids forever Thoughts of getting old sometime in the future Occurred to us almost never Mickey and his band kept us chuckling all day No worries, the world was in rhyme Never concerned what the future had in store Only fun till beddy-byes time © Jack Ellison 2014

Dragon's into Disney movies like The Swiss Family Robinson. He wanted his own island in the middle of the lake with a tree house. We gave him a rope swing to go out over the water, instead. The penguins couldn't hold on so we added a platform they could use to jump from. Jumping from Dragon's tail was still their favorite. Then Dragon saw The Sound of Music and spent hours singing at the top of the hill while spinning around. (His favorite part). Poor penguins go dizzy watching him! Really!

Wow, Jack, you sure dusted off some memories with this one (at least that's what my mother says ;| Still remember the 'Wonderful World of Color'. Had to go to Uncle Ted's to see it though. He was the only one with a color television.

My dad bought our first TV, (a Rogers Majestic) in 1954... black and white of course. Half the neighbourhood wanted to be our friends! Were we popular!!! My dad should have charged admission to the Wednesday Night Fights!
