[stylist] new poem

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

Yes, I remember when walkmans were super cool and you just had to have
one, grin. Few people born after the 80's probably remember them, and
anyone born 97 and later probably have no clue what a walkman is, at
least ones using cassettes, LOL! What's really funny is that I can now
be grouped with those who remember and used such ancient technology,
giggle. I'm also just old enough to have used records too, ha-ha!

Shawn, you tossed me back to another time and place by just  mentioning
the 
Walkman. I so enjoyed this one!!

Song  Strider
Once upon a time
Back in Walkman days of yore
angel voices  sang
In those days fondly remembered
I jacked a tape into my Walkman and  strode forth.
Voices as if from angels filled my head.
Wilson Phillips  bade me hold on for one more day.
As on my evening ritual rounds I did  travel.
In these younger times
music pumping though my head
walking  was a joy.
My body strode along,
before the twinge of aching knees.
I  climbed the hill without trepidation
and from the summit could  survey
the path ahead, the path behind
and know the beauty of sight and  sound.
So with the music
I strode in evenings cool
in times  remembered.
