American Bandstand or Soul Train

I liked American  Bandstand but I loved Soul Train 

and before you sit there reading this 

and laughing while thinking

I must be joking 

keep in mind I was born in 1969 

and my Parents owned a Panasonic Record 

Player with all 

three speeds and an 8 track player 

that I accidentally broke after

 I pulled out the 8 track tape 

because I couldn't stand to hear the sound of 

Englebert Humperdink's voice when I was 3 in 1972. 

Author's Note

Happy memories of childhood are often great subjects to turn to whenever a writer feels like they're having a writer's block. Those moments aren't fun but your brain can only hold so many words and there are workplaces that don't always allow those who love writing to jot notes down.
