There was a time
Not long ago
when movies weren’t rated.

When younger folks
of tender age
could watch ‘til they were sated.

A snack and pop
when dimmed the lights -
the best tastes e’er created.

We’d cheer and call,
and laugh at all,
to leave the place, elated.

The cost in coin
was not so high
the fun, anticipated.

The problem was
that skippin’ school
yields under-educated!
