Gas was twenty five cents per gallon. <br />Milk was fifty nine. <br />Eggs five dozen cartons for a dollar, <br />Sealtest was a favorite of mine. <br /> <br />A hamburger, fries and coca cola, <br />For a dollar and we still got change. <br />A watermelon for about the same price. <br />Thinking back this all seems strange. <br /> <br />Take a date to the movie theatre. <br />Get some popcorn and a drink. <br />It was such cheap fun entertainment. <br />Three dollars total your wallet shrinks. <br /> <br />Free form poetry is like these memories. <br />It never costs much to simply find, <br />The written words from the past calling, <br />It was never free, but it was fine.<br /><br />Robert Edgar Burns<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/free-form/
