Reader's Corner POUNDS OF MILK MOUNT UP FASTER WHEN YOU FEED OUR SCIENTIFICALLY to amttoiiaa « * The pleasures we enjoyed with so much delight Today would be an unbelievable sight. They wonder, whatever in those days did we do So I'll reminisce with a memory or two How our neighbors’ oxen pulled the cart around Roaming the hills arbutus and duck flowers we found. Call you recall the industrious mother hen Who owned her own house called a coop or a pen The hen with her fluffy chicks were something to see As they roamed freely over the countryside with glee. When food or a worm was found, the hen clucked her call How the chicks rushed and scrambled to eat it all Should clouds gather and the sky rumble its angry mood Then hen spread her wings to protect ail her brood And the hunt for the wild chestnuts after the first frost No worms were in them and they were free of cost We gathered quarts from under the tree And ran home to cook them in salt water bree. The first Ford Tin lizzies were really a thing of delight Cranking and pushing them around was a natural sight One Sunday when our parents on visit a new baby to adore The boys backed the Ford right thru the barn door Yum Yum the homemade ice cream we turned an hour or more And filling the woodbox was an everyday chore. Oh we hunted eggs from all over the place And when the dinner bell rang we all ran a race. Then skating parties there always in winter was ice And snow a plenty the sledders to entice So I say to you I’m glad I was alive As a youth to enjoy the gold old days back in 1925.
