Life was a little simpler
Times were a little easier
The world's problems were solved
With a big bowl of ice cream
The best shows and cartoons on TV were:
Transformers, Go-Bots, GI-JOE, HE-MAN, The Muppet Show, Mighty Mouse
The Snorks, Fraggle Rock, Yogi-Bear and anything Hanna-Barbera
Alvin & The Chipmunks, Thundercats, The Jetsons and the Flintstones
LIfe was spent swimming all day
Laughing and playing my cares away
Miniature battles took place on paper daily
In lands and places unknown to all but me
Every birthday and holiday an adventure
Birthdays filled with pinatas, pool parties and presents
Holidays filled with hugs, holly leaves and happy tidings
With a young life came a life simpler time
As the wheel of time turned
Other cartoons came along that were still great
Such as: Duck Tales, The Uncanny X-Men,
Tale Spin, Darkwing Duck, Pinky & the Brain
Ren & Stimpy, Doug, Rocko's Modern Life, Charlie Brown,
Animaniacs, Garfield, The Real Ghostbusters, The Simpsons,
Batman the Series, Spider Man, Rescue Rangers
And the list goes on and on
Times and people changed further still
Thankfully my imagination and great cartoons stayed with me
An ability to see the world with eyes of wonder and unclouded
Like the mind of a child stayed with me and I hope it stays with you
Fortunately good cartoons are still out there now
One simply must look harder and treasure them like precious gems
Some are: Ghost in the Shell, Princess Mononoke, Akyra, Family Guy, South Park,
Futurama, Disney's Atlantis, Heavy Metal, Venture Brothers and Cowboy Beebop
