on sale, half the price, is considered a steal

Dad dropped them
now we know

you always had somethng to do.

You could see a movie,
or buy a comic or pop for the price of a dime,

Fifty Two Years
Fifty two years

her body did sway with a pert little walk
perking my interest I wanted to see

I sped up my pace to face her carefree
I smiled with surprise and...
