Black and White - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

You could hardly see for all the snow,
Spread the rabbit ears as far as they go.
Pull a chair up to the TV set,
"Good night, David; Good night, Chet".

Dependin´ on the channel you tuned
You got Rob and Laura - or Ward and June.
It felt so good, felt so right.
Life looked better in black and white.

I Love Lucy, The Real McCoys,
Dennis the Menace, the Cleaver boys,
Rawhide, Gunsmoke, Wagon Train,
Superman, Jimmy and Lois Lane.

Father Knows Best, Patty Duke,
Rin Tin Tin and Lassie too,
Donna Reed on Thursday night -
Life looked better in black and white.

I wanna go back to black and white.
Everything always turned out right.
Simple people, simple lives,
Good guys always won the fight.

Now nothin´ is the way it seems
In living color on the TV screen.
Too many murders, too much fight,
I wanna go back to black and white.

In God they trusted, in bed they slept.
A promise made was a promise kept.
They never cussed or broke their vows.
They´d never make the network now.

But if I could, I´d rather be
In a TV town in ´53.
It felt so good, felt so right.
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!

OH WOW

I love this. Donna Reed...another perfect mom

. Life was simpler then, in many ways. I liked black and white too. But then I remember seeing my first "in living colour"Rose Bowl" Parade and thinking how awesome it all was.

Great poem.
