Yester Daze
when young I rarely played alone
many friends visited my home
among the many in my company
were heroes, cowboys. and fantasy
video games and an old arcade
I seldom went but often played
games of chance that tested me
my aim, skill, and tenacity
I traveled to space riding a cardboard box
took an imagination minus locks
kept butterflies for a little while
with ants for friends in a domicile
then came a steel Erector set
that daddy gave, and I did sit
building cars and Ferris wheel
seeing that as a mammoth deal
riding a birthday bike
I rode the trails of a little tike
traveled the alleys sidewalks and roads
looking for pets like turtles and toads
