This Was Us................

Whoever wrote this poem didn't leave anything out!  Hope this finds you all
well and HAPPY for 2018!    ENJOY!


>> I would love to re-live just one or two weeks back in the 50's.



>> A POEM -- THAT WAS US
>>
>> A little house with three bedrooms,
>> One bathroom and one car on the street A mower that you had to push To
>> make the grass look neat.
>>
>> In the kitchen on the wall
>> We only had one phone,
>> And no need for recording things,
>> Someone was always home.
>>
>> We only had a living room
>> Where we would congregate,
>> Unless it was at mealtime
>> In the kitchen where we ate..
>>
>> We had no need for family rooms
>> Or extra rooms to dine.
>> When meeting as a family
>> Those two rooms would work out fine.
>>
>> We only had one TV set
>> And channels maybe two,
>> But always there was one of them
>> With something worth the view
>>
>> For snacks we had potato chips
>> That tasted like a chip.
>> And if you wanted flavor
>> There was Lipton's onion dip.
>>
>> Store-bought snacks were rare because
>> My mother liked to cook
>> And nothing can compare to snacks
>> In Betty Crocker's book
>>
>> Weekends were for family trips
>> Or staying home to play
>> We all did things together -
>> Even go to church to pray.
>>
>> When we did our weekend trips
>> Depending on the weather,
>> No one stayed at home because
>> We liked to be together
>>
>> Sometimes we would separate
>> To do things on our own,
>> But we knew where the others were
>> Without our own cell phone
>>
>> Then there were the movies
>> With your favorite movie star,
>> And nothing can compare
>> To watching movies in your car
>>
>> Then there were the picnics
>> at the peak of summer season,
>> Pack a lunch and find some trees
>> And never need a reason.
>>
>> Get a baseball game together
>> With all the friends you know,
>> Have real action playing ball -
>> And no game video.
>>
>> Remember when the doctor
>> Used to be the family friend,
>> And didn't need insurance
>> Or a lawyer to defend
>>
>> The way that he took care of you
>> Or what he had to do,
>> Because he took an oath and strived
>> To do the best for you
>>
>> Remember going to the store
>> And shopping casually,
>> And when you went to pay for it
>> You used your own money?
>>
>> Nothing that you had to swipe
>> Or punch in some amount,
>> And remember when the cashier person
>> Had to really count?
>>
>> The milkman used to go
>> From door to door,
>> And it was just a few cents more
>> Than going to the store.
>>
>> There was a time when mailed letters
>> Came right to your door,
>> Without a lot of junk mail ads
>> Sent out by every store .
>>
>> The mailman knew each house by name
>> And knew where it was sent;
>> There were not loads of mail addressed To "present occupant"
>>
>> There was a time when just one glance
>> Was all that it would take,
>> And you would know the kind of car,
>> The model and the make
>>
>> They didn't look like turtles
>> Trying to squeeze out every mile;
>> They were streamlined, white walls, fins And really had some style
>>
>> One time the music that you played
>> Whenever you would jive,
>> Was from a vinyl, big-holed record
>> Called a forty-five
>>
>> The record player had a post
>> To keep them all in line
>> And then the records would drop down
>> And play one at a time.
>>
>> Oh sure, we had our problems then,
>> Just like we do today
>> And always we were striving,
>> Trying for a better way.
>>
>> Oh, the simple life we lived
>> Still seems like so much fun,
>> How can you explain a game,
>> Just kick the can and run?
>>
>> And why would boys put baseball cards
>> Between bicycle spokes
>> And for a nickel, red machines
>> Had little bottled Cokes?
>>
>> This life seemed so much easier
>> Slower in some ways
>> I love the new technology
>> But I sure do miss those days.
>>
>> So time moves on and so do we
>> And nothing stays the same,
>> But I sure love to reminisce
>> And walk down memory lane.
>>
>> With all today's technology
>> We grant that it's a plus!
>> But it's fun to look way back and say, HEY LOOK, GUYS, THAT WAS US!
>>
>> "Good friends are like quilts-they age with you, yet never lose their
>> warmth."
