Hey,Wasn't This Us?!!!!

[claytonx]

A little house with three bedrooms.
One bathroom and one car on the street.
A mower you had to push.
To make the grass look neat.

In the kitchen on the wall
We only had one phone.
And no need for recording things
Someone was always home.

We only had a living room
Where we would congregate,
Unless it was meal time
In the kitchen where we ate

We had no need for family rooms
Or extra rooms to dine
When meeting as a family
Those two rooms would work out fine.

We only had one tv set
And channels maybe two
But always there was one of them
With something worth to view.

Weekends were for family trips
Or staying home to play
We all did things together-
Even go to church to pray

When we did our weekend trips
Depending on the weather
No one stayed at home because
We liked to be together

Sometimes we would seperate
To do things on our own
But we knew where the others were
Without our own cellphone

Remember when the doctor
Used to be a family friend
And didn't need insurance
Or a soliciter to defend

The way that he took care of you
Or what he had to do
Because he took an oath and strived
To do the best for you

Remember going to the shop
And shopping casually
And when you went to pay for it
You used your own money

Nothing that you had to swipe
Or punch in some amount
And remember when the cashier person
Had to really count?

There was a time when just one glance
Was all it would take
And you would know that kind of car
The model and the make

One time the music that you played
Whenever you would jive
Was from a vinyl,big holed record
Called a forty-five

Oh the simple life we lived
Still seems like so much fun
How can you explain a game
Just kick a can and run.

This life seemed so much easier
And slower in some ways
I love the new technology
But i sure miss those days

So time moves on and so do we
And nothing stays the same
But i sure love to reminisce
And walk down memory lane.

Three bedrooms and a bathroom ! - luxury

[claytonx]

Not with seven children and grandma in the corner.

Wow, claytonx, you were posh!

A little house with two bedrooms
No bathroom and no car
Didn't need a mower
No grass to push it ower

In the kitchen on the wall
We only had one bath
Filled with a kettle from the hob
It had to bath us all

We knew someone who had a phone
They wouldn't talk to us
If dad wanted to use one
He had to get on't bus

We only had a front room
Which mum would keep all posh
You had to live in't kitchen
As well as eat your nosh

I had a crystal radio
It never worked too well
I used ex army earphones
They hurt my ears like hell

Remember going to the shop
And shopping carefully
And when you came to pay for it
'Tha's getting nowt on tic'

We didn't get those weekend trips
Whatever was the weather
We always stayed home saving brass
We liked to be together

Remember when the doctor
Used to cost you money
Grandma was your doctor
With luck she'd give you honey

It's good times change and so do we
It wasn't all good then
Tin baths weren't fun especially when
Your sister was a girl

Can I ask where did you copy and paste that from?

Also, why couldn't you have named the person that wrote it?

It was long and boring, surely not your work?

Do a search on the first line of the poem in Google. It comes up with some Ancestry website.

Well gosh,

Are you as suprised as I that it wasn't original?

Just like the joke of the day.

We had copy and paste 10 years ago, now the site deserves originality, no matter how Banal.

[claytonx]

Joke of the day original------You must be joking.

Hey, careful Less! I made mine up as I went along-banal rubbish but original banal rubbish!
