Remember When

This poem is for all of the 90s kids who remember a time much safer and different than it is now

Remember when light-up sneakers were cool  

When Pokémon was life

When Blockbuster had only VHS tapes 

When N64 had amazing graphics

I miss those days

 

Remember when gas was only $0.95

When you listened to music on a Walkman

When you would play in the McDonald’s playpen

When Goosebumps was all you read

I miss those days

 

Remember watching Saturday morning cartoons

When you watched Doug

When you watched Magic School Bus

When you watched Wishbone

I miss those days

 

Remember when you ate warheads

When you could never find Waldo

When everything on infomercials was so cool

When no one had cell phones

I miss those days

 

Remember when scooters were cool

When M.A.S.H. notes would predict your future

When Furbies was all your sister wanted

When Wayside school stories were hilarious

I miss those days

 

Remember when Michael Jackson was black and still cool

When Nickelodeon was the only channel you watched

When Beanie Babies ruled the world

When Lego’s were the #1 toy period

I miss those days

 

Remember when you really wanted a bunk bed

When cooties existed and girls were weird

When Santa Claus was real

When staying up past 10 was forever

I miss those days

 

 

 Remember when there was no such thing as ‘gay’

When looks didn’t matter at all

When you didn’t know what drugs were

When you were blind to the evil in the world

I miss those days

i love it and i cant stop reading it but truthfully i think cool is used to much it kind of takes away from the poem

Oh I remember those days oh so well. I remember watching Fraggle rock and the smurfs. Hell I just bought the fraggle rock dvd for my kids. They are coming up in a world that just shows them everything that can destroy them. They fear going to school, they fear going outside, hell some even fear going home. It just seems like things have changed so much. I remember going places with my friends and their families but I can't let my kids go with their friends to the store without peeking out the window. lol Its crazy but all you can do is try to keep up. I watch whatever they watch and listen to whatever they listen to. That seems like the only way to survive.
