My hole life, for the price of a cup of coffee.

                             Here’s another selection from my new book,

“GLAD DAYS LONG AGO”

It’s basically my reminiscences; my whole life in a nutshell.

I guarantee that it will make you smile.

The ebook is about the same price as a cup of coffee,

Cheers!  

SUNSETS

I remember Ferris wheels

And sharing cotton candy,

Walking barefoot hand in hand

Along a beach that’s sandy,

Afternoons on inner tubes

With sunshine on my shoulders,

And the smell of roasting hotdogs

As a stone lined campfire smolders.

I remember sleeping on air mattresses gone flat,

Ballgames in the meadow,

And the cracking of a bat;

Kool-Aid on the running board

Of Granddad’s little Ford,

And popcorn at the theater

With that gal that I adored.

I remember horseback rides

And summertime romances,

Chewing gum scented kisses,

And long, slow dances,

Moonlit walks with pretty girls

In soft gingham dresses,

Thoughtful talks on country roads,

And warm, moist caresses;

And I recall the dawning

Of an inescapable truth,

And reconciliation as the sun set on my youth.
