Hi, all: Sometimes I've saved neat ideas for selling on Ebay, and I found in the file this little poem that I was considering using in some way. Someone here may have posted it or. . . ?
Bid early,
And bid your max.
Ebay works,
And you relax!

Libra, I was very young, but one that I will always remember was in Arizona, on Route 66:
Thirty days,
Hath September,
April, June,
And the speed offender.

Don't forget the gasoline signs. Regular, 19 cents per gallon. Ethyl, 22 cents per gallon. And along with that, you got S&H Green Stamps.

Cigarettes:
Where 15 cents a pack!
Candy bars:
Ranged from 1 cent to 5 cents!
The Good Humor truck came by Everyday!
Houses could be bought for as little as $1,000.00!

When you bought those nickel candy bars, you always checked the change you got back for Indian Head pennies.

Whiz the best nickel candy bar there is.
Hey the year I got married gasoline was 21 cents a gallon and that was 33 years ago and our first house was $15,000. 1971. Now that wasn't that long ago. Seems like only yesterday Pay was crapy....

I remember the Highway (Interstate) here that had all of the neat billboards protesting the widening of the highway. I also remember that after a rain storm, you couldn't drive on that highway because the runoff ran over the road!
