Oh my gosh,
Don!!! I can't believe you found that picture! What a part of childhood that book was. You brought in the bologna/baloney sandwiches. Roy Rogers lunch box is classic. Mine was Lassie. Funny the things you remember, and from simpler days.

Hugs,
Rhonda

Oh, sweet memories of long ago. A Roy Rogers lunch box is a treat for any boy when growing up in the early 60s. I had one of my own as a boy, used it, and abused it banging it around the bus on the way to school. But boy howdy did I love it! I love the artwork as well it fits in well with the theme of this poem.
Take me back to the good old days!

If you go with Oscar Myers - it's "boloney". (Smile)
I enjoyed your fun nostalgic 5/7/5 poem. It's funny how even a thought of a smell can trigger a memory.

Nicely done
Blessings

I was sure your word was correct and the children's version was wrong, but I checked it out and both are correct! It's funny, because I've always used, (a load of) baloney as being rubbish, untrue, so now I've learned something else! I had cheese and pickle! That was a fabulous 5-7-5 entry, and certainly opened my mind up, :)) it was really well done. Good luck in th contest. :)) Warmst hugs, Sandra xx

    You are so very generous and Kind Sandra. I had to look the two words up and found that either could be used. Baloney, is probably Americanized slang.

Suggestion :

I don't I've ever partaken of a baloney sandwich in my life before Kahpot, perhaps it's the baloney that is really off putting my friend. But I've eaten lots of regional assuage before, beautifully written D&V blessings Roy

I love baloney or bologna, same thing, different words. Isn't life fun that way.
Such short forms can capture entire littanys of memory and this is a good one.
Thank you for sharing

This is great! A trip down memory lane, do you remember the smell vividly because you really liked it or despised it or just a stand alone vivid memory! Great entry for the 5-7-5 contest. Well done and good luck.
Best Wishes
Nicki
