- Soon To Be a Very Nostalgic Book -


 


 


“I always loved


Our childhood days


At the Jersey shore!”


 


AD Member Ed Matlack


 


 


Of course my other Brother Ed


Always loved our days at the sea


I always had to do all the hard work


And he always barked out orders at me


 


“Hurry Up, with that sand castle!


I’m gettin mighty hungry over here!


Brother Ed, go get me another hot dog,


And one more really ice cold root beer!”


 


“And I hate to tell ya, Little Bro,


But that castle is a little crooked.


You’re gonna have to fix it, Bro,


Can’t you get anything right, Ed?!”


 


And his bullying orders went on


All summer long at that Jersey shore


No wonder I soon ran away from home


I just couldn’t take his bullying any more


 


And yes, for those of you who are now wondering


Even as a child he always had a beard on his big head


These are just a few of the many memories of my childhood


Spent on that old New Jersey shore - with my other brother Ed


 


 


©2007, The Other Brother Ed

I should have my other brother Jerry here to write this because he's rougher and twice as schitzo when it comes to other brothers, but him is so annoying when he's us.Good memory, good read and good entanglement, Ed...the brother you're accustomed to...Jerry

Looks to me like you been toquing on more than old rope here, Dad... and Ed's my.... UNCLE????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So it's all YOUR fault that he is now clueless... You obeyed his orders right from the start to "Pass me that weed"... Dig the pyjamas... and it's no use you trying to hide that massive fat joint in the sand... My turn for the bathroom, I think...! :))) "She don't like, she don't like, she don't like... KoKate xx"

Born and raised in Jersey, yes the shore was wonderful and clean when I was little. Not so good now mostly when i went back and lived there four years by the shore before moving up yonder here. Yet I remember little original fast foods like White Castle and the little square hambergurs for a 25 cents. Of course you needed to buy four to fill your up but they were so cute. And you pulled up to a building that was made to look like guess what? A white castle. They were the days in many ways as these are now in many more. Lady J
