simpler times

" Fill er' up, Fred." he says
to the gas station clerk.
"And the windshield, too, Jim?
"Yes, sounds fine, it sure wouldn't hurt"

On the porch, two men talk of simpler times,
times when things were slow
"Amazing." he says "Tell me, Jessie,
where did the years go?"

A group of kids play in the grass
Red Rover and the like.
While two young boys race down dirt roads
Who has the fastest bike?

Years go by and things, they change
like this old filling station.
It's nice to look back and see simpler times
using your imagination.
