The Lamp

What a lovely lamp,
not contemporary style,
from the good old days,
early Dachau I am told
it's very old, menschlich skin.

The Good Old Days

the good old days
blacks lining up for restrooms
always in back
buses, trains, movie houses--all
but please spend your money here

Your access denied. Tick: I am not a robot. A system outage, remember the good old days, when pen and paper would do.

Premium Member The Slightest Touch

The slightest
Of touch
On your lips
In the breeze
Don’t think back 
To the good old days
For know one thing
Its me behind
Ahead and blind

ran down grassy slopes
looking for bleating lambs
chasing butterflies~
our world buoyant like bubbles
high up, dazzling rainbow hues.

The Good Old Days

One thing is for sure when tales are told 
The "good old days" are sure to unfold
Now understand
What made them grand
Was that we weren't good and we weren't old!

Blip Carter

In the good old days,
Backyard loos were the way,
The old blip carter appears,
From a dim and distant year,
Had the blip can on his back,
Strode off down nostalgia's track!

Darling

Darling…my dear…
I’ve held this in for so many years…think back to the good old days 
when we were young… forgive me for that day…
for burying you in the sand on that cold September day…

Gone, Gone, Gone

Gone are the free fun days, 
Where you played like a child. 
Gone are the good old days where 
You had fun together. 
Gone are the memories that you made of each other as time goes on.

Oh for the good old days, life was simpler then Up with the birdies, then to the office we went Traffic was a breeze No, you first please! Now it's amazing, to survive without dents

Great Old Days

In the good old days, good people sorted all the folks into “us" and the sordid. The American state was apparently “great.” But what "great" means is poorly reported.

My wife and I lived happily for twenty years Then we met!!! Ever since I've been in arrears Oh for the good old days Enjoyed my “being right” phase Ever since I've become dead between the ears

During the not-so-Great Depression
   FDR practiced self-suppression
'chatting with us' just once a week

During the current pandemic
   Press conferences are epidemic
Pols grabbing every microphone to speak

The smell that brought back memories

       An acquainted scent...
        That of soft, wet mud stepped on..
                 Oh! The good old days

This guy goes back a lot further than most All the way back when we didn't wear clothes Only one thing on our mind We almost went blind And our complexion was pale like that of a ghost © Jack Ellison 2015

Modern Marvin grabs a sandwich
        Devours it in a bite
           Wolfs it down
 Gobbles up a whole bag of chips
 Washes it down with a Big Gulp... 

His great-grandfather's daily fare
 --half a potato and a crust of bread

Seven Ten

I fell out of alignment and was looking back again. Illusion spoke with pain and said: "The good old days are dead. The spark has surely faded now, and all you have is dread." So I opened the Holy Bible and read - Ecclesiestes 7:10...

Early Trip

Once we were very young,
Our journey had begun,
We bounced around in the back,
No seatbelts, alas, alack,
I was rubbing the hair of Grandpa Jack,
Trying to drive, with me on his back,
That was 'the good old days',
Vanished in nostalgic haze!
