The Day Dave Forgot to Rhyme

I think it musta been '66 - 
the year of the storm when he was in a fix
and you could buy french fries for a dime. 
Wasn't that a time - 
the day Dave forgot to rhyme.

I seem to be paused on 'dime', that keeps sinking in, sinking, sinking, sunk. Whoa your clever strikes again, and it cost me naught but a grin. I had a time.

It sounds like inflation is getting you down! Luckily, the price of my poems remains the same - you get what you pay for - lol!

Hello David, I think it feels half-myth, half-mischief. A moment that probably mattered more for the laughter than the rhyme itself. A light, good-natured nod to days that still shine around the edges. Winter Blessings, David, Daniel
