Retro

Bring your typewriter when you move in.

I still have my old VCR.

I have a cassette deck in the house

and an eight track in the car.

I'm glad that you don't judge me

or consider me a dinosaur

just because my home computer

is a 1982 model Commodore 64.

I may be getting old but I can still

fit into my bellbottom jeans.

I have a swag lamp in my living room.

My stove and fridge are avocado green.

After dinner we can settle back

and enjoy some instant powdered tea

as we watch the programs from our youth

on my RCA XL 100 console TV.

We can sleep in my water bed

and bathe in my claw-footed tub.

I still have all the albums I got

from the Columbia Record Club.

We can listen to mix tapes we made

of all our favorite songs

as we sit together on the floor

and play endless games of Pong. - Jeff Barnes
