HANGING OUT

poetry

Ice cream cones and lollipops

Bubble gum and Keystone Cops

 

Hula hoops and pogo sticks

Mister Dressup and his tricks

 

Fresh popcorn and red hot dogs

Running shoes and wooden clogs

 

Neil Armstrong, on the moon

Frank Sinatra and Pat Boone

 

Porky Pig and Daffy Duck

That Bugs Bunny, run amuck

 

Our friends Lassie and Rin Tin Tin

Young Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn

 

 Old man Santiago, and the sea

 Moby Dick, when he’s angry

 

Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy

Those three stooges, Larry, Moe, and Curly

 

Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis

Abbot and Costello, giving it to us

 

Those Blues Brothers or Sonny and Cher

Oreo cookies made by Dare

 

Mahatma Gandhi and Confucius

Ben and Jerry’s, how delicious

 

Wisdom of, the Dalai Lama

The Ponderosa’s, panorama

 

Moses waving, his big stick

And for Christmas, old St. Nick

 

Just a few things, I could find

Hangin out, in my mind
