Rum

[TxRad]

At least with all the 60's kids approaching retirement, students won't be hammered with New Age obsessions any longer. Now it will all be about life before AIDS.

Not to mention, life before video games, cable TV, and the internet.

OOh, God! You mean you actually had to like go outside to play?

Um, no ... more like, you mean you actually were allowed to go outside to play?

Hell, mama ran us out with the broom.

Hell, mama ran us out with the broom.

I didn't quite get the broom treatment; my mama took a healthier approach:

"It's a nice day; go out and play to enjoy it."

"It's a miserable day; go out and play to build your character."

"You're not going to let a little thing like a hurricane keeps you indoors, are you?"

So many responses I could make to that ....

But brooms are Molly's specialty.

"Away! Away! With Rum, by gum; rum by gum; rum by gum;
Away! Away! With Rum, by gum;
The Song of the Salvation Army.

We don't allow fruitcake because it has rum,
And one little bite turns a man to a bum.
Oh, can you imagine a sadder disgrace
Than a man in the gutter with crumbs on his face.

Away! Away! With Rum, by gum; rum by gum;
Away! Away! With Rum, by gum; rum by gum;
The Song of the Salvation Army."

And many more verses...make up some of your own...
