Second-hand Daydreams


It was odd, but I fell backward and landed in yesterday.  I know I wasn't dreaming because it hurt a great deal when I landed. 

As I stood up and looked around I could see that not only was I in the past but I was actually standing in a restaurant.  What the heck - I ordered lunch.




 
 
The menu prices were great, there was no pesky calorie count next to every item listed, and the place smelled like fresh grease. Yum.
 
I even recognized the music that was playing on the Jukebox.
 
So what's the catch, I wondered...
 
Ahhh, I see it.  The person at the next table was smoking. Yuck!
 
I couldn't take it.  When my waitress came by I asked her to pinch me.
 
Ouch.  I woke up.  I was back in today.  The smoker was gone, the prices were crazy and the music was driving me nuts.
 
It was great to be back.

Hotel Bill

 
We both thought they were over-charging for the room.
Although her English was questionable, we asked the maid what she thought.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
This was our turn-down service...
 
 
 
 
 
 
Suckers!
 


Just outside we saw this...

 
 
Once we were actually inside
the antique shop
 
we noticed these...
 
 
 
 
 
They didn't look all that old.

Such a Thing

 
 
Oh such a thing as we came by
Four feet, no wings and tiny eyes
 
We stared at her

She stared at us -
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 This soggy Hippopotamus

It might as well be Mars

There can be no more Jujubes
in the land of Good-N-Plenty
where a hundred thousand dollar bar
is no more than a twenty -
 
Mary Jane is Chunky now
Mr. Goodbar's on the run
Hershey has a Baby Ruth
that used to be a Bun -
 
Reese's in the Skybar
with a Chiclets on his arm
A Swedish Fish that no one knows
with Pop Rocks for a charm -
 
Altoids on a fishing boat
Busy Rasinets
Goobers in Las Vegas
while his Sweetarts making bets
 
Necco needs a Payday
or 5th Avenue is out
Dots she has a Gold Mine
Bit-O-Honey there's no doubt-
 
 
OK, I'm done
 
Snicker, snicker, snicker...
