Poetry Corner
Back when your parents were married
And Tonka Trucks were made of metal
And you could stomp for clams right behind the house
And you could hike all day and not get lost
And school was fun
And you knew Christmas would be good
And your brother was your best friend
And girls had no power over you
And you didn’t know you were poor
And the best part of the day was when Dad got home from work
You should have quit while you were ahead.
