Oh gosh Mum
I know you told me not to go
Up into the attic
Where it’s dusty and glum
Look at these
Treasures I found tucked away
Grandma’s ancient player
And prehistoric black CDs

Ha...black CD's! They were treasures and the covers were a form of art. Very nice : )
ReplyDeleteWas given some classics by a friend recently with a view to converting them.
DeleteI think people are 'rediscovering' these. My son has a collection you wouldn't believe!
ReplyDeleteI used to have hundreds. I can believe it. Many are being re released of course on CDs.
Deletelol .....prehistoric black cd's ............. love it. Well done, Bee.
ReplyDeleteThank you. It was supposed to be funny and I`m glad you cottoned on.

ReplyDeleteReading liner notes for secret messages on old LPs was always a joy. Or, at least I thought they were secret.
ReplyDeleteAnd yours is a joy.
I hope she'll give them a spin!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much everyone. It was inspired by a remark I heard when someone said in all seriousness that they didn't know that CDs used to be so big! I kid you not!
ReplyDeleteApologies for not being able to get to everyone's page. I will try to be better at it this coming week.

ReplyDeleteas does your writing, really! nice!
Prehistoric CD's!! Great take on the image!
