The Good Ole Days

Families sat together when I was young Ate popcorn had fun…. Around the coffee table we’ whine Pass the chips gimme mine! Black and white TV had just come to town The neighbor had it, it was around. But, oh the board games we’d play Parcheesi, dominoes, monopoly! We’d all sit on the floor on that mustard shag rug My bratty little sister would get all the cat’s hugs. The bowl of potato chips would be twixt Dad’s knees And Mommy would ask to pass the bowl please. Babe our dog would nose all the pieces And the monopoly money would get covered with greases?? Boy, we’d laugh cause it always seemed Baby brother would get thrown in jail, double-teamed. Well, we never did get rich But you know what’s funny? I’d give anything….. Anything for one more chance At family…and that Monopoly money! Monopoly the Game of Life D. Guzzi
