Example Poem
Momma Lost Me
My
mother worked at Woolworths five and ten
and
she'd let me ride to town now and then.
The bus
driver knew where she worked and when.
At five
years old the bus ride was great fun.
"Just
stay aboard, I'll get you little one."
Nana'd
put me on and she'd pay the fare.
When we
reach her stop, momma would be there.
Except
the time she wasn't anywhere.
At five
years old the bus ride was great fun.
"Just
stay aboard, I'll get you little one."
We
passed the stop-- I 'membered what she said.
The
driver winked "Let's see what lies ahead."
Mom
found me on our return trip instead.
At five
years old the bus ride was great fun.
"Just
stay aboard, I'll get you little one."

This was about 67 years ago in Ogden, Utah
A much
safer time and place. As usual the parent suffers more than the child.
