Taking You Down Memory Lane Poem by louis rams

.
It is time to take you down memory lane
With the hit t. v. series “Spanky and our gang”.
They were on for many a year
They gave us laughter and a few tears.

There was Spanky, alfalfa, buckwheat
Froggy and Darlene, and we can’t forget
The teacher Mrs. Crabtree.

Alfalfa with his one strand of greased up hair
Standing straight up - two pounds of grease
And still not enough.

Spanky was the leader- he was short and round
Any problems, he had to be found.
Buckwheat was the daring young guy
He would do anything for a ride.

Then there was Froggy - his name says it all
Like a frog his voice did fall
Darlene with her shoulder length hair
And the voice of an angel from above
Had the “ our gang” all in love.

OH! The t. v. series that we used to watch
Like “ I love Lucy” and “ the honeymooners”
And “our hit tunes” with all the crooners.

What about “ Laurel and Hardy” and
“Abbott and Costello”
The two most comical fellows.

This is the trip down memory lane
And you know it’ll never be the same.
