'Remembering My Childhood Jingle's' Poem by Linda Winchell

I was remembering some, of my childhood jingle's
from, a long, long time ago.
Like 'I wish I were an Oscar Meyer weiner
or that Oreo, and Tootsie Roll song.'

Good and Plenty, was a fun song to sing
as you shook the box, an ate!
And wasn't that Tony the Tiger fella
with his sugar frosted flakes, for breakfast
really, GRRRRRRRREAT? !

Advertiser's made commercials fun back then
they made life, seem somewhat easier.
To hear A child singing and maybe dancing around
to, 'I wish I were an Oscar Meyer Weiner! '

Toy's placed in your cereal boxes
which you opened, from the bottom to get!
But Mom wasn't really to happy with that move
and her scolding, I would fret!

A much slower and fun, life, it seemed way back then
as I reminisce, of those days gone by.
It almost makes me sad at heart
and, I feel like I'm going to cry.

I tried to give my son's, that kind of joy
with every breakfast they had.
So that they too, might remember
their childhood jingle's, and memories
and the fun times, that made them glad.

Memories take us out of our own little world
and place us where, at one time we once were.
So that it will be easier to live each day forward
if only in a child's Jingle, that was heard.
