Remember?

by Wayne F. Burke / October 20th, 2024

when “a little dab” would do yah?
when WINSTON tasted good–
like a cigarette should?
when there were 13 channels on TV
to chose from?
when “gay” meant happy?
when pool rooms existed?
when pants had bell bottoms?
when there were such things as telephone booths?
when gasoline was 25-cent per gallon?
when ice cream could be had for 10-cents a cone?
Remember the Paleozoic Era?
