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.

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.
