Nostalgia

Remember stuck on 
band-aid brand,
Because band-aid 
is stuck on you?
  Remember when
 the furniture was
Made from wicker 
and bamboo?

  Remember three
 on a bike with
the banana-seat.
  Remember the 
Magazine called,
Tiger Beat?

  Remember putting 
playing cards
On your spoke?
  Remember everywhere
There was second 
hand smoke.

  Remember when a
 man cost six
million dollars?
  Remember eating
 at Farrell's Ice
 Cream parlors?

  Remember the woman
 that was bionic?
  Remember all the cool
New Electronics?

  Remember the TV
 went off the air?
  Remember watching 
Sonny and Cher?

  Remember playing
 Red Rover, Red Rover?
  Remember the kodak 
Camera Instant exposure?

  Remember playing tag 
And dodge-ball?
  Remember black light 
Posters on the wall?

  Remember at ten pm
 the TV would ask,
Do you know where 
your children are?
  Remember riding around 
with no seat-belts 
in the car?

  Remember watching
 Don Kirshner's
Rock concert on 
the Weekends?
  Remember how 
you felt about 
Your friends?

  Remember the Oscar
 Mayer wiener song?
  Remember watching
 Up In Smoke
With Cheech
 and Chong?

  Remember shag carpet 
And Tupperware?
  Remember the 
bowl cuts
For your hair?

  Remember putting 
aluminum foil on the
Antenna to get
 better reception?
  Remember your moms
 green chip
Stamp collection?

Remember with a 
note from Mom,
You could buy cigarettes?
Remember the 1970's
Chevy Corvettes.

Remember tie-dye,
A pair of Dittos?
Remember rolling 
skating rinks,
And disco.
