Longing for the Good Ol' Days
Born in a time
When swearing was a crime
When a dime was a dime
Not a bag, what's a line?
What's My Line?
TV
Rated G
Who scores?
Boy or girl?
We watched Milton Berle
Who is he?
Is he dead?
Talked Pinko, Commie, Red
Who was watching?
It was "Big Brother"
When a "mother" was a Mother
When we wrapped
It was boxes
Girls were foxes
Not these songs
"Raps" which are long
Words with "F"
End in "CK"
Hear it everyday
Make it go away
I'm no goody, goody
I'm no Mrs. Brady
And by now you know
I'm not Slim Shady
I'm a mother
A 50's lady
Ice- T is a drink
I wrap with clear or pink
Could use green
Once used blue
Any shade will do
I'm the real "Rapper"
Not Marshall Mather
I'm the real Rapper
Saran Wrapper!

Poetry: The good old days
Me and her, summer days wasting our lives away,
Not caring about tomorrow, just living for today,
Not worrying about what
Remember when dad was around
back when we were young
back before we knew sadness
and life had just begun
Back when days of summer
by Jyl Phillips
Tell me that story again Mommy…
Daddy lift me high above your head till I can’t giggle anymore…
Surround
by Sarah Terzo
"Words for Winter"
It's summer and
Warm sun beats down
I hunt bees
Stepping on each lazy buzz
I hear the boys with bicycles
by Kay Bee
Remember the good times
They'll serve you well
When life is hard
As tough as hell
Hot summer nights
Lying in bed
His strong shoulders
