The Good Old Days

Grandpa, tell me about the good old days

Did you work?  Did you play?

Just what did you do all day?

Did you catch lightning bugs and save them in a jar?

Is it true that you never knew

what is was like to ride in a car?

Where's the creek that you did seek

cool relief from playing in the sun?

And just how did all of you learn to have fun?

Grandpa, tell me about the good old days

Did you work?  Did you play?

Just what did you do all day?

This reminds me of a conversation, almost one sided, that I had with my Granddaughter. She was about 6 at the time...We spent about three hours in our local park, just the two of us. I sat there on the swings with her and told her all about the times I had had in that exact same place some 50 years ago...She listened very politely and as soon as I finished she looked up at me and asked..."Was that in the OLDEN days Grampy?"
Thanks for evoking the memory
