IT’S A WONDERFUL AGE IN WHICH WE LIVE, BUT—

I miss that oil that didn’t carbon. I miss that gas a car would start on. I miss those drinks that used to trickle. I miss those high ones for a nickel. I miss sweet peace and all its iblisses. I miss those days of stealing kisses. I miss the skirts that made ’em hobble. I miss tight waists that made ’em wobble. I miss that syncopated dancing. I wish I could get some cars from L&nsing, cause when you’re out of Oldsmobiles you’re out of luck. —Hugh Kirk.
