The Beatles records

We used to go up in the treehouse to listen to Beatles records.
An extension cord running from my bedroom window to the tree.
A power strip, with a lamp plugged into it so we could see at night.
An Easy-Bake oven to make little cookies and cakes.
A dishwasher to clean the pans and plates.
Thank goodness we had the second phone line put in.
Always getting calls while we’re on the treadmill or working a dowel on the lathe.
And then, lightning struck the tree, burned it all to the ground.
Thank goodness I saved the Beatles records.
