Do you ever reminisce about your childhood?
Rockem-Sockem Robots, Spirograph, Lincoln Logs,
Candy cigarettes, wax lips, pixie sticks,
Banana seats on bikes, slick tires and sissy bars,
Bell bottoms, Converse, crew cuts,
Bouffants, Brill Cream, electric rollers,
Station wagons, record players, eight tracks,
No seat belts, no car seats, laying on the rear deck
to see out the back window,
Sneaking your parents smokes
And maybe their booze,
Just for fun,
Never worrying for our safety.
Do you ever reminisce about your childhood?
I do.

It is ironic you posted this – my older son was asking me bunches of strange ?’s – like my favorite clothes in the 70’s, music, … He would not tell me why – just told me it is for school and I will find out in due time. Humph… I mentioned bell bottoms:)
Thanks so much for the comment. I’m not really sure what brought this poem on, but I really enjoyed writing and thinking about the things that defined my childhood. Bell bottoms…I haven’t worn then in many years, but they seem go away and keep coming back. I love it. :)
I think my parents set me up for failure when they introduced me to candy cigarettes >_<
Yeah me too, I started smoking at 14 and didn’t finally quit until I was 41, I think they scarred me for life. :)
