Do you remember when?

Another poem I dug up from a box that's been put up on a high shelf and forgotten.

I'm surprised I haven't been emailed this 5 times in as many years!

Remember When?

Hippie meant big in the hips?

And a trip involved travel in cars, planes or ships?

When pot was a vessel for cooking things in?

And hooked was what grandma's rugs would have been?

When fix was a verb that meant mend or repair?

When to "be in" meant merely existing somewhere?

When neat meant well organized, tidy and clean?

And grass was a ground cover, usually green?

When groovy meant furrowed with channels and hollows?

And when birds were winged creatures like robin and swallows?

Fuzz was a substance real fluffy like lint?

And bread came from a bakery, not from the mint?

When rock was a stone and hang up was something you did on the phone?

When swinger was someone who swung on a swing?

And pad was a soft, sort of cushiony thing?

When far out meant distance - a long way away?

And no one thought twice when you said you were gay?
