The Sweet, Sweet Past

Age Rating: 18 to 127

  The Sweet, Sweet Past
Picture Credits:

Oh, take me back when things were cool,
a simpler time and place;
when I was not this ranting Fool,
with wrinkles on my face.

Oh, how I long for days of youth,
when little worried me;
I knew the meaning of the truth,
my heart and soul were free.

I woke each morn to run and play;
I lived to watch cartoons.
Slept sound at night – not wound up tight;
no pending sense of Doom.

I dug those sock hops in the gym;
craved Elvis and Dick Clark.
“Copping feels" my biggest sin,
while necking in the park.

My bowels worked, my eyes were clear;
my pate was lush with hair.
The one who nurtured always near;
I didn’t have a care.

I had no bills, I had no wife;
no cursed IRS;
no job, no boss, I had a life;
Sweet Past, I love you best.

You seem to have this age thing pretty well thought out as was your poem. The age of innocence always the best for most of us I think.
To be naughty is nice and when one can be naughty no more -what a tragedy. I like your poetry because it always gives you reality was a good healthy dose of humor.

Great work,

Rich

A blast of the past, it almost brings me to tears. This is my kind of poetry, easy to read, nice flow, allowing my mind to drift and think of simpler times. Thanks for this.

You have excelled yourself with this, it has both humour and pathos. Unfortunately it also so very true.
Oh how I jived to Elvis, cool had not been invented then, even so we were the coolest.
Now when I look in the mirror of a morning, this old man stares back at me, looks long lost, although he does have face full of memories.
