I Remember
I can't imagine anyone who would like to go back to the "Good Old Days" of no electricity, out-houses, carrying pump water and scratchy woolen underwear, still some of the old values and memories linger. I remember when: A double-dip was 10 cents Doctors made house calls Children could go to the movies Mercury was in our thermometers and not our fish Coke was Cola Nobody had AIDS Comedians like Gleason, Skeleton, Hope, Fields, Abbot and Costello, Laurel and Hardy, Keaton, Ceaser, Silvers, Berle, Benny, Ball, Burns and Allen, Chaplin, didn't have to use the "F" word to get a laugh Roy Rogers was my hero A 100 mile motor car trip was a major event We drank water from the pump We drank water from the stream A joint was a bad place Teachers used switches and nobody sassed High School kids knew reading, writing and arithmetic The family played parlor games after dinner Sports figures were role models A pump handle or sled runner in January was always faster than my tongue Snow was either white or yellow and we NEVER ate yellow snow The banker knew my name Men would stand when a lady entered the room Japan made cheap stuff We didn't know about such things as toxic waste, ozone layer, red dye no. 2, cholesterol, fluorocarbons, television, TCE, PBC In 1956 a DJ from KDAL radio in Duluth said Elvis couldn't sing and he wouldn't last Gabriel Heatter read the radio news The Dodgers were in Brooklyn Automobiles were designed by artists, not accountants and wind tunnels Good guys won It was alright to give candy to children Yes, I do remember |
