[hometext] => Tje lights come on for our family in 1948. We lived on a farm in N.E. Oklahoma and it changed our lives, especially Mama who had never lived in a house with electricity.
[bodytext] => I remember that day they threw the switch The lights came on without a hitch The Kevinator hummed, the Zenith sang If we'd had a phone it would have rang With happy folks up and down the line "Can you hear the wires hummin', can you hear them whine, Those coal oil lamps we can pack 'em away The lights are on, Praise the Lord for the REA" [comments] => 2 [counter] => 169 [topic] => 54 [informant] => peg [notes] => (Approved by Mod_1) [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => happypoetry )
