Once upon a time, you could get a lot for a dime;
Two Hershey bars, a copy of The New York Times,
Or your favorite soft drink. I also hear love was free.
What an interesting time to be. I wasn’t born yet, unfortunately.
The year was 1969.

I was too young to remember 😦 I’m not sure how much a dime is either! 10c? Or is that a “nickel”?
I like the rhyme within the fourth line!

I am also too young. I did a little research on the year. A dime is 10 cents. 🙂 Thanks for reading!
