Nostalgia
Remember stuck on
band-aid brand,
Because band-aid
is stuck on you?
Remember when
the furniture was
Made from wicker
and bamboo?
Remember three
on a bike with
the banana-seat.
Remember the
Magazine called,
Tiger Beat?
Remember putting
playing cards
On your spoke?
Remember everywhere
There was second
hand smoke.
Remember when a
man cost six
million dollars?
Remember eating
at Farrell's Ice
Cream parlors?
Remember the woman
that was bionic?
Remember all the cool
New Electronics?
Remember the TV
went off the air?
Remember watching
Sonny and Cher?
Remember playing
Red Rover, Red Rover?
Remember the kodak
Camera Instant exposure?
Remember playing tag
And dodge-ball?
Remember black light
Posters on the wall?
Remember at ten pm
the TV would ask,
Do you know where
your children are?
Remember riding around
with no seat-belts
in the car?
Remember watching
Don Kirshner's
Rock concert on
the Weekends?
Remember how
you felt about
Your friends?
Remember the Oscar
Mayer wiener song?
Remember watching
Up In Smoke
With Cheech
and Chong?
Remember shag carpet
And Tupperware?
Remember the
bowl cuts
For your hair?
Remember putting
aluminum foil on the
Antenna to get
better reception?
Remember your moms
green chip
Stamp collection?
Remember with a
note from Mom,
You could buy cigarettes?
Remember the 1970's
Chevy Corvettes.
Remember tie-dye,
A pair of Dittos?
Remember rolling
skating rinks,
And disco.
