When I saw the no bingo
Sign today, I yelled GREAT–
I hate that game! People
Sitting around playing for
The chance of winning
Potato chips or soft drinks,
When I would rather win a
Big, fat bacon cheeseburger!
Oh well, it gives elderly
People something to do at
The senior center.
We all love our air-conditioning.
When it stops working, we break
Out in a sweat. We call someone
To fix it. And we drink cold drinks,
Eat ice cream, whatever it takes
To get cool. God bless the
Repairman.
Back in our younger
Days we all enjoyed
Going to the drive-in.
Several of us crammed
In a car eating popcorn
And enjoying soft
Drinks snuck in. The
Movies were weird
But we barely noticed
Because we enjoyed
Each other’s company
More.
