Remembering baseball cards
they were so much fun,
when we bought pack after pack
in search for a special one.

We'd search for our favorite players
stars and rookies,
and the no names were put in a box
that no one ever see's

We'd buy them,collect them
and trade them too,
they would give us as kids
so much to do.

We'd attach them to our bikes
using clothes pins,
because it would make them sound
like motorcycle engines.

Then there were the cards
that we all got for free,
they came out of the boxes
of hostess cupcakes and twinkies.

We also could find them
in loafs of wonder bread,
that our moms always bought
when we needed to be fed.

There were so many different cards
with which we bought or made swaps,
but if i remember correctly
the most popular was topps.

Whether we saved them,lost them
or just threw them away,
i'm sure it's going to hurt
to see what they're worth today.

If we only knew as kids
what we know now that we've grown,
we might have even been able
to buy a team of our own.

Even though we missed out
because as kids we did'nt see,
the baseball cards remembered
were a great memory.
