Remember when the TV said goodnight?
The anthem played then all was static white?
We had the volume turned down really low
'Twas past our bedtime; parents didn't know
We giggled with excitement and with fright.
Remember when we wished with all our might
To find ice cream in the milk box shining bright?
But most weeks only eggs and milk you know
Remember when?
Remember when the days were pure delight?
Running to the field to fly our kite?
Your back was to the wind you hoped would blow
As the string spun through your fingers like a pro
And we soared up there with it taking flight
Remember when?

Very beautifully composed rondeau with facts put together of the time gone by!
It's good to really read others- such forgotten memories come back- it's almost like uniting with long lost close friends..!
Hugs xox
Phew, that was like decades ago.. and know remembering when, it is just so good to have some old things back, putting the smile on the face.. :)
I remember all of that, especially the TV thing, I can remember thinking, boy I'm up late cuz the TV is making that static noise now. I don't think our children will have such sweet rememberings of this kind of innocence. Sad.
I remember drifting off to sleep to the National Anthem, after trying to stay awake so long, then the static hiss would wake me up.
(Damn, I'm old! LOL!)
Ah, I remember!
I'm old, too, Eric!
Aah yes...those were the days!
