(Pay Toilet) <br /> <br />Here I sit all broken hearted <br />Paid a nickel and couldn't get started <br />Always did like that old pome <br />Because it hits so close to home. <br />Nowadays it would cost much more <br />A nickel wouldn't even get you through the door. <br />But in olden times when we were small <br />We'd crawl under the door and into the stall. <br />Today that wouldn't make much sense <br />To do such a thing to save five cents. <br />But a nickel then would buy something dandy <br />Could get you a cone or a bar of candy <br />Or a pack of gum or something groovy <br />Save up two, you could go to a movie. <br />Times do change, not always for the best <br />So take what you can and forget the rest. <br />Take my advice as to what to do <br />Or do what you like, it's up to you!<br /><br />George Hunter<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bygone-days/
