Best Good Times Poems

Joe Lunchbucket stands on the bread line
The plant closure left him not one dime
  So handouts he seeks
  Like dogs beg for treats
As senators toast to the good times

Great teachers...

Life stopped for a moment when we received that call
The Savior came and you left us all

Your pain is relieved, so should we rejoice or cry?
Unknown how to just say goodbye

Trying to be normal as if life’s a blast
Masking the hurt with empty laughs

Moving on...

Oh to have tools to hold back Time!
To make the hours just stay,
And let the years stop in their prime,
Age held back in delay!

To have the chance to dance again,
Laugh more and worry less,
Relish the music we had then-
All that sixty's goodness!

The jukebox songs and...

Our City has new ambiance
The head rock man is gone
The clean up crew is back on
Our country has promises to keep
For one and all
There'll be good times

Tourists has come
Everybody is tickled
Sashaying here and there
And singing to themselves
Oh feel...

But the happiness we receive is much more gratifying

Than always...

Walt Disney World Sunday at 7
Street lights on at 9
Remember the family dinners
We had nothing but time

A game of Life on the table
Slap Jack on the floor
Metal roller skates
People knocking on the door

Happy Days every day of the week
8-tracks in the player
School was actually fun
Top...

No laugh without tears
No calm without fears
No justice without crimes
Good times and hard times

No clean without stain
No relief without pain
Confusion breeds rhymes
Good times and hard times

No profit without cost
No found without lost
Cold winds ring the chimes
Good times and hard times 

Thus I learn to rejoice
When...

Just saying the words "blueberry pie"
changes the way you feel.
And it's no wonder it finds a place of honor
at the end of a home-cooked meal,
for there is no need to pit nor peel
this sweet-tart low-bush fruit,
just add a dash of sugar and a flaky shell
and...
