so i asked the lad
he was at work with his mother
she manages a laundromat
where one may only need machines

I was a mere lad of ten living on a prairie farm in Hoosier land,
Roaming the fields in my old straw hat, barefoot, carefree and tanned.

Ciggy in gob and mild in glass.
I bet he's up there seeing united win, 
Hollering and swearing " get it in".
I bet he's up...

He last had a pal in the 7th grade,
 They shared a class from the 1st grade.
 And together, for Home Economics,

When I was a Lad
by Bob Moore

I still remember, when I was a lad
the head of the house, was the one we called dad
he’d go off to work, and mam would keep house

He’d come home when shift...

Hello Mother, a nurse is writing this for me,
I’ve lost my arm and a bit of my leg you see,
But I’m up on crutches and hobbling about,
So this afternoon, they’re shipping me out!

with some you will dally
share a kiss or two,

B athed in the soft glow of morning's gossamer light
E ngrossed, as my eyes behold the most beautiful sight
A sleep in his crib, I gaze down at my first grandchild.

How sad it was to watch that boy, 
Who in his hands, ne’er held a toy,
Walked aimlessly, a subdued child.

Each knows he is the one on whom the other one depends.
