The back of the store
1977
Right of the housewares

Next to the fire door
Heavy Sixer with Combat!
Two wide-eyed kids

Thumbs on the buttons
CX-40s in our palms
Hands and eyes in-sync

"This f-ing rules man!"
"cool-ass games on a TV!"
"Much better than Pong!"

Tanks, bi-planes and jets
Bouncing shots, racking-up scores
We play while mom shops

"This aint no arcade"
Yells the TV salesman in
The C&R suit

He says "That's it boys"
He then hits the power switch
"Now get outta here!"

We skulk away
From the TV section, but
We will be back soon
