Tinker toys and Lincoln Logs,
Hula Hoops and Legos
Mickey Mouse ears to put on,
multicolored Play Doughs
Cowboy hats and cowboy boots,
six shooter and shiny star
Lionel trains with a caboose,
Tonka trucks and Pedal car
Disney records with story books,
to play and read along
Roy Rogers and Howdy Doody,
refrains from a children's song
Barbie dolls and pop beads,
Spoolies to curl your hair
Saddle shoes and soda shops,
American Bandstand on the air
All of these just memories,
of things carefully tucked away
Kept like photos in our minds,
to pull out on a rainy day
