Back in The Day

Back in the day …
We’d pile the boys in back,
And drive down the road to the crossing,
Where Farmer George’s field was laying fallow,

For about the fourteenth year,
And the ruts between the bases,
Looked like plow marks,
Made by boots and by bare feet,

Of well-tanned lads in overalls,
And little else but grins and freckles.

Back in the day …
We’d stop beside the creek after the ball game,
And swing out for a drop into the coolness,
Of a shaded depth of water, too lazy in the summer,

To go out into the sunny parts downstream,
Where work was to be done,
In turning wheels to grind our well-earned grain,
For making bread to sop up the real food,

Of meat that went unwillingly to Heaven,
Protesting in its innocence and fear.

Back in the day …
That lasted near a week of sunny hours,
From the morning light that wound the rooster,
To the last gray dusk that showed the bats the way,

To dust away the wisps of cloudy cobwebs,
That kept the stars from shining bright,
In nights that settled into peaceful silence,
With only pops and fizzles from the fire,

Left banked to sleep until the morning,
When biscuits needed waking for the day,

Back in the day ...

I Love My Dentist

My friends and I appreciate
Our dentist, Doctor Maik M. Strait.
He stands there with his knowing stare
Each time we crawl into his chair.

He cleans our teeth with special goo.
Why, he even cleans the back sides, too.
Then he gives us special tips
On how to brush inside our lips.

Oh! Cavities! When he finds one,
He grabs the phone! Dials 911!
Crowds line the streets so they can see
A cavity emergency.

If there's one thing I must keep still
It's Dr. Strait's annoying drill.
To keep it quiet there is one way,
Just floss and brush teeth every day!

So we admire our Doctor Strait.
Yes, even when he makes us wait.
Without these dentists we might be,
A gummy toothless society.

I Love Rocky Road

I hear those ice cream bells and I start to drool
Keep a couple quarts in my locker at school
Yah, but chocolate’s gettin’ old
Vanilla just leaves me cold

There’s just one flavor good enough for me, yah me
Don’t gimme no crummy taste spoon
I know what I need

Baby, I love rocky road
So weren’t you gonna buy half a gallon, baby
I love rocky road
So have another triple scoop with me, ow

They tell me ice cream junkies are all the same
All the soda jerkers know my name
When their supple is gone
Then I’ll be movin’ on

But I’ll be back on Monday afternoon, you’ll see
Another truck load’s comin’ in for me, all for me
I’m singin’

I love rocky road
So weren’t you gonna buy half a gallon, baby
I love rocky road
So have another triple scoop with me, ow

(oh, make it talk)

When I’m all alone, I just grab myself a cone
And if I get fat and loose my teeth that’s fine with me
Just lock me in the freezer and throw away the key
Sing it

I love rocky road
So weren’t you gonna buy half a gallon, baby
I love rocky road
So have another triple scoop with me

I love rocky road
So weren’t you gonna buy half a gallon, baby
I love rocky road
So have another triple scoop with me

I love rocky road
So weren’t you gonna buy half a gallon, baby
I love rocky road
So have another triple scoop with me

I love rocky road
So weren’t you gonna buy half a gallon, baby
I love rocky road
So have another triple scoop with me

A friend is someone who knows the song
in your heart and can sing it back to
you when you have forgotten the words.

I'm with you, but I might try the brownies.
(I can resist all but temptation.)

LOL Glad it’s you and not me! If I lived there, I’d never leave the house!

I’ll take the brownies! We were talking today with a customer that lost 90 lbs. Don’t know where he carried it, he’s about 6’ 10” and skinny as a rail. He said he just quit eating sugar and white things. I remarked—open mouth, insert foot—that I didn’t eat any sugar, and it didn’t seem to make any difference.

They all turned and looked at me, as one they said— chocolate!

Guilty! But it’s still not white!
