Modern Mother Goose-On The Loose # 722

To decide, to go back, into time-

And, turn it into an instant rhyme.

.

To wash and hang clothes, on the line-

With no dryer, in sight, to find.

.

To use, the imagination, in play-

With no TV, or video game today.

.

To take a trek, to the outhouse-

With no flushing toliet, in the house.

.

To bake a cake-

From scratch, like Grandma used to make.

.

To boil the water, to take a bath-

With no hot water coming into the house,

it’s easy to do the math.

.

To sit, on the porch, until the heat, of the day,

goes away-

No, everybody was not just a friendly neighbor,

to go to bed comfortably, you first, had to sit

outside and wait, while having your say.

.

To go and pick those blueberries, so that

Mama can make that pie-

No Wal-mart, to purchase one, in the blink

of an eye.

.

To write a letter by hand, to the relatives who live far-

No telephone, no e-mail, no fax, and no car.

.

To decide, to go back, in time-

And, turn it, into an instant rhyme.
