The Old Folks and me

By UTTubby

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

You'll never believe what flashed before me, BIG DOMINOES give me hives 84-version of 42 'cept with 6 players-passed away, almost funny how time flys, I was merely 5, 6, or 7. I sit...seeing them (statues) 'round the table, perched like blackbirds upon her phone line, Then, all the sudden, someone would jump and yell (84) "sure is getting close to half-time" "Oh, Boy" I said, "my favorite treat" while reminiscing Saturday nights, then Mamma would slice the chocolate cake, pass the cookies all day she'd bake, and I loved that home-grown melon. "A little more punch?", "No thanks for me" I'd sit and smile, listening awhile sipping on grown-up coffee, cold Iced tea or my favorite, "Dr. Pepper" Time would pass between the sweat, no sign of AC, just a big black-box fan, wringing of the sweat, a phone that would make you jump off your seat and my favorite dog barking...FLUFFY. Another Saturday night come past 12, I'm yawning being tucked in bed, knowing I get to sleep late in the morn, seems like a celebration...sad to watch them fly.
