Another Heartfelt Dose of Reality is a book of Poems and Two short stories. Heartfelt Poem: "Good Ol' Days" Boy! I remember those good ol'days / When things were so simple / Even when we were poor / We weren't looking for more / Love from family / Kept us happy / We were not concerned about what we had / As long as we were fed / Ol' boy. Those were the good ol'days / A television in every room?! / Wow! You must be rich! / Because I remember standing / Over the TV set with a hanger / We weren't worried about the danger / Wiggling it back and forth / "Is that good?"/ "How about that?"/ As soon as you sat / Static! / "It's your turn!"/ Ol'boy. Those were the good ol'days / How about when electricity went out / You couldn't iron your clothes / Flip up the mattress / Stick your clothes in between / Let it lay over night / Bam! Creativity! A homemade iron right? Ol'boy / Those were the good ol' days / I remember my mother's best friend / What was the name? / Right! I remember / Thrift store! With those clothes I almost went to war / "So what I'm poor! You gonna buy me some more!" Ol'boy. Those were the good ol' days / When the heat was turned off / We didn't care / "The stove is my friend! The stove is my friend!" / Ol' boy those were the good ol' days! / "Can I have some juice?" Was not heard / Now sugar water I understand / "All the Kool-Aid gone?" / "Man!"/ Ol' boy. Those were the good ol' days / Remember when you didn't have a lot of money / But when you went to the store/ You would come back with a bag full of candy / Or many / Because it only cost a penny / Ol' boys. Those were the good ol'days Your birthdays / Hand-me-down toys / "I wanted a new bike!"/ "What do you think that looks like?"/ "My brother's old bike painted white" / Ol' boy. Those were the good ol' days/ "Thank you mister government / For my block of cheese / Oh and can I have some powder eggs too Please?! / And can I have some powder milk / Because this peanut butter / Is sticking to the root of my mouth!" / Ol' boy. Those were the good ol' days / And mama's home cooking / Let me say that again / Mama's home cooking Boy I miss that! / Ol'boy. But those were the good ol' days
