 Last Friday of the month is for
Monthly Poetry Group to rhyme.
Diane, Mimi, and I take turns,
" Favorite Childhood TV Show" theme this time.
 
As usual, today I'll try,
a poem to write . . . or fudge.
Whether I'm successful or not,
you get to be the judge.

Zoinks and Jinkies
 
Which one is my favorite
childhood TV show?
Lets see if I can pick and choose.
there were so many, you know.
 
 
Batman kept all safe and sound,
with his "bam" and with his "pow,"
Samantha's magic on Bewitched,
Oh, I wished that I knew how.
 
"Danger, Will Robinson, danger"
though they always came out on top.
The Skipper and klutzy Gilligan,
had me laughing, pretty much nonstop. 

And I went through a dark phase,
On Dark Shadows, vampire was he
and in the Twilight Zone I was,
happily scared of all I'd see.

But Saturday mornings were the best,
stared, enthralled, at the TV.
Couldn't get me to move from there,
to dress nor eat nor pee.

Cookie Butter Loaf
 
 
From the prehistoric Flintstones,
to futuristic Jetsons life,
so much fun to see how they'd
deal with this week's strife.
 
Bugs Bunny always put one over,
on hapless Elmer Fudd.
And loved when "beep, beep" Road Runner,
Had the coyote headfirst in mud.
 

But if I had to choose just one,
as you've asked me to do.
Guess I could, and right below,
is a major clue as to who.

See him on my "thinking chair?"
No, that isn't Blue.
for me no other can compare,
to Scooby Dooby Doo!

  1. You overlap with me - I was too old for Scooby Doo but I was right there with Looney Tunes, the Jetsons and the Flintstones. And, let's see. Yogi Bear. Mighty Mouse. Even (dating myself even more) Felix the Cat, who was on prime time, along with some of these others. Yes, prime time cartoons. They were the best. Thank you for the memories.

    1. Yes, College Boy found Twilight Zone a few years ago and I think he watched them all.

  4. Scooby was tons of fun, as was Bugs. Once i read that the idea behind Scooby was to marry "I Love a Mystery" and "The Life and Times of Doby Gillis". Pitched as a children's show, it was deemed too frightening until the producer added a dog to make it more funny than scary.

    1. There's a bit of trivia I wasn't aware of, and I don't know either of those shows, so I'm off to visit google.
