Memories of Youth “1962” By Paul Wilson Friday morning shake awakens me from slumber Voice of mother breaks the silence “Get up time for school” Disgruntled chill of water in face does the trick asking mom “where’s my books” Sugar Pops floating in ocean of white will hold me till lunch Third hour I need a break “ A smoke between bells “ Don’t get caught folks will give me hell… three days off grounded for the weekend you know the drill Sliding in hallways on feet of cotton being cool with my friends “Showing off for the girls” lunch hour almost done Someone left the water on Hallways are flooded Principal comes on intercom Announcement made “school will let out early today” Have a good weekend see you back on Monday Sign on door says Friday night dance after football game “Ask mom for a couple of dollars” grass will have to be cut Saturday she say’s Slow dancing with the girls Favorite one will be there Brush your teeth take a bath comb your hair Swipe a little Old Spice from your dad ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ Paul [This message has been edited by Paul Wilson (03-10-2007 06:32 AM).] |

I was born in 1961... and on reading this, realized that school hadn't changed much when I got there. I can relate to your memories, but when my teenaged nieces talk about school now, I think "What??" I like your version much better than theirs....
