Bazooka gum was a penny!

Pizza was .25$

If Mom gave me $1, that’s big money! With that dollar I bought, popcorn, soda, and one slice of pizza. .

I took typing and stenography in school

I talked too much, so I failed cooking

We played in the school yard with the kids on the block

Had to go home, when street lites came on

Knew everyone’s telephone number by heart

For there, were no cell phones or computers

Life was much easier. Was it really???
