Rexall Drug Store
As a child I spent hours
sitting at the old soda
fountain, drinking my
chocolate malt only
25 cents was the cost.
While old shep my
favorite dog of all
time waited patently
for me, while I read
all the comics on
the comic rack.
Little Lula was
my favorite, loved
her and Tubby and
all the adventures they
had.
Walt Disney Comics and Stories
always had a three part story, which
met I always had to buy one each
month, loved Uncle Scrooge and
Donald Duck.
Old shep would wait outside
for me up to three hours, untied,
what a dog he was. Loved this
old drug store, it was so cool
in the summer time with it's A.C.
felt so good to escape the heat.
From 1952 until 1956 this
was my safe Haven to go to
my old little world, I could leave
all of my troubles outside and enjoy
my self.
I would take shep a bowl of
water that the druggist gave me,
he would wag his tail, drink some
water, then he would give me a
kiss with water dripping down his
mouth.
Went back to Rexall Drug Store,
in 1990 and it was gone, no longer
could I go inside and refresh
my dear memories,
so will just have,
to store them in
my mind and remember
those beautiful days
of long ago.
