D M`s Secret Mouse Hole

A tribute to "The Secret of NIMH" and Animation.


The best of Times

  

                      Black and white 

    

 

          You could hardly see for all the snow ,

          Spread the rabbit ears as far as they go.

          Pull up a chair up to the TV set,

         "Good night, David.Good night,Chet.

 

       

 

        Depending on the channel you tuned,

        You got Rob and Laura, or Ward and June.

        It felt so good. It felt so right.

        Life looked better in black and white.

 

        

 

           I love lucy, the Twilight Zone,

                  The Real McCoys,

           Dennis the Menace, The Munsters,

                   The Cleaver boys,

           Rawhide, Gunsmoke, wagon train,

           Superman, Jimmy and Lois Lane.

           Outer Limits, Patty Duke

           Rin Tin Tin and Lassie too.

 

       

 

         Life looked better better

         In black and white.

         Everything always turned

         out right.

         Simple people, simple lives,

         Good guys always won the

                    fights.

 

        

 

       In God they trusted as they slept,

       A promise made was a promise

                        kept.

      They never cussed or broke their

                       vows.

      They`d never make the big networks

                       now.

 

       

          but If I could I`d rather be

          In TV town from the 1950`s till 63.

          Life looked better in black and white.

 

       

        I`d trade all the channels on the satellite,

       If I could just turn back the clock tonight

       To when everybody knew wrong from right.

       Life was better in black and white!
