Nostalgic Reincarnation

Ok.  I promised a poem today, well said I'd try, and I was able to put one together.

Lincoln Logs and Tinker Toys

Lego blocks construct or die

Cobra’s laying in wait

Joes of General Issue will not run scared

As knowing’s half the battle they’ll be aware

Lick ‘em Stick em’

Cool to taste

Rock ‘em Sock em’

Robotics on display

Sen Sen, licorice charm

Mixing pop rocks on a dare

Coca-Cola doing pennies harm

While Slinky’s slink along the stairs

In the dark, Bloody Mary may appear

In the mirror from nowhere, so please

Don’t say the name 3 times, if once you do, don’t repeat

Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse, NO, NO, stop right there!

Trouble, trouble

In the Pop-o-matic bubble-

Sorry, but the Chutes and Ladders break and fold

Scrabbled, Upwords, we Connect to Four, spawning a game

Of Trivia Pursuit, that for me,

Often leads,

To a trip into

Candyland.

All in fun, the songs now play

Snap, Crackle,

Poppers sound as Sparklers light the way

M40’s and Bottle-Rockets explode and take flight

But all’s well and good, laughing loudly

Until you’ll get stuck drawing four

Again and again…

Eventually all the fun has to end

But then again,

Perhaps a wildcard will show its face

In which case

Mario and his princess may just yet, have time to get away
