| Post subject: | When Planes Had Propellers |
I was watching the news and as usual the news was all bad. I started to remember how things were years ago when I was a kid growing up so I sat down and wrote this poem.... What is your oponion of the times When Planes Had Propellers When planes had propellers the world would move slow We took time to get where we wanted to go When planes had propellers we didn't move fast We just took our time and examined our past When a call cost a nickel the world was just fine A live person would come on and say" please hold the line" When calls cost a nickel we had plenty of time And finally phone calls went up to a dime When taxi cabs cost only ten cents a mile And lipstick looked good on a young ladies smile When nylons had seams and shoes open toes And everyone wore each others close When twenty five cents got you into a show A train token took you where ever you go When fruits that you liked came out only in season And you didn't have turkey without any reason When Santa would leave just one gift neath the tree And I'd give one to you and you'd give one to me When we all ate our dinner the same time each night And everything dad said was true and was right Then all at once the world moved very fast There's only the future no time for the past Everyone has a cell phone and fly on a jet And everyones out for what they can get Home cooking? Forget it who has time to cook And how many people you know read a book Men and women are equal or so they say Unless you look at who gets greater pay Now girls marry girls and guys marry guys The airways are filled with nonsense and lies No one has the time to sit and to chat They have to get going and that just is that When planes had propellers the world would move slow We took time to get where we wanted to go And as I look back it seems in so many ways When planes had propellers they were much better days |

Tony, you sure hit the nail on the head. Terrific words and couldn't be more truthful. I can't say I am surprised to read such a work of art from you. You are one very talented and creative person. Hope you don't mind that I copy pasted it in my files, it's a "keeper" 
Thank you for your very insightful poem! |

As you know, I've been calling you the "Poetry Man" on my subs for a while now and you've just proven it even moreso. All the words building up inside you just spilled out in this lovely poem. You are a man of many talents, Tony.

on a related note... wanna hear something funny? In my highschool.... there were SO many kids that would come to the office to use the courtesy phone just to blab about nuthin. SO the teacher/office staff were getting annoyed and put a Rotary Dial phone on the desk... barely ANYONE knew how to use the damn thing! how sad is THAT!?!

The only way you could know if the times were better were to have live through them. I also realize the older you get the better the years before were. Most of your family was around you, in some cases mom and dad had not passed away, was easier to get to gether on holidays as everyone lived close. Enjoy the times today for they will become tomorrows memories, and oh how sweet the rememberences. |
