who can forget
those nights when mom and dad
left a babysitter in charge
which meant
hours of
prank calls
(do you have prince albert in a can?)
ding dong ditch
pong
and then finally
settling in to
The Magical World of Disney
with some freshly popped
jiffy pop
shaking back and forth
on the electric coil
until the foil hat was so full
it just might have exploded right then and there
the memories i have
are so vivid
that
although the popcorn wasn't
gourmet
it has come to symbolize
the joy
and simplicity
of my childhood
I am participating in alphabe-thursday over at
you should go check it out
and see what all the fun is about
this week
