I love this! Funny stuff here! The boob job stanza made me laugh. 8 tracks...I remember those! My husband says that he had to wear dress pants to school but I'm six years younger than him and I don't remember that...although I do remember my dad would flip out when we wore "dungarees" to school. He said that was for working! Thanks for the trip down memory lane! I enjoyed it!

We never saw a kotex commercial
(how disgusting)
and the Marlboro man was
the best looking guy on t.v.
I would give any thing to return to those days. Great work my friend.

This was absolutely a priceless piece of work. It definitely makes you think about some things and makes you laugh out loud. I love the part about blow jobs and boob jobs and talking your way through it. I'm willing to bet she knew though. I loved the free form this poem was in. It was great.

You don't look that old, you must have been told this by someone that was really old, right? I kept getting this tune in my head... "memories". Very good job. Jim

This was way funny for it doesn't reveal your age. It just means you paid attention in history class. All this is so true but yet forgotten memories that we could probably go back and learn from. Thanks for the read.

[She thought you talked
your way through it.

(or did she?) ]
didnn't really get that part :}

Jewell,

I'm not sure what mom thought but I sort of believe she knew.

I like the message in the poem, lets you see that time changes things.
Well written poem. (I admire your ability to create such wonderful poetry)
Great poem, written well!
