The Good Old Days (And) Oh Those Memories

Hop Scotch, Whoola Hoops, Metal Skates, Skinned knee fates. Tricycles, Bicycles. Motorcycles, Dripping popsicles. Hot wheels, Pin wheels, Bob Barker's big deals Spinning on all wheels Paper dolls, Sillly phone calls, Cartoon bits, Howdy Doody skits. Mickey Mouse, Mighty Mouse, Minny's Micky's spouse, Vist Little Rascalls club house. Poodle skirts, Ben Casey shirts, Castles made, digg'n dirt, Boy next door, fun to flirt. Linda Terrell March 24, 2010 OH THOSE MEMORIES OF LONG AGO Superman loved Lois, Gospel our parent told us, Ricky loves Lucille Ball, Globe trotters, oh so tall. The first Alvin, Simon, and Theadore, Sweeper salesmen at our door, In bobby socks, all girls dressed Angora wrapped rings, We felt so blessed Ymmm! Moms prize dessert, Oh my the fun, of a growing spirt Ahhh! Those memories, I am so glad, And all the licks on my face, of the dog I had. Nothing can now compares No double dog dares Saturday night isn't the same But oh those memories, in my mind I frame. Linda Terrell March 24, 2010
