Thoroughly Poetic Thursday #107

   Today is Poetic Thursday hosted by our pals Teddy and Angel Sammy 


Here is today's inspiration


Back in the late 1950's early 1960's
My parents and I went
to the drive in theater most weekends.
This picture gave my mind's eye many images.
There was a playground in front of the big screen with all kinds of fun awaiting just like below.

I have images and feelings that I'll share.

Warm nights
Cars in rows on our left and right
Speakers attached to the car windows
The entire night was a delight
Before the movie we went to the
Snack bar  there were so many choices 
candy, soft drinks, popcorn, hot dogs
and soft swirl Ice Cream.  
Deciding was hard

There were cartoons before the movies
There were always two movies.
One for children was shown first and one for the adults was last.  Most children were asleep in the back seat.
My mom always had a pillow and blanket
And I always fell asleep.
