I think I remember him from my youth https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h69c2wEKl54&feature=related"]YouTube- Captain Kangaroo - color show from 1981!! Hotwater
it's kinda like the poem 'when i am an old woman' When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple With a red hat which doesn't go and doesn't suit me. And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves And satin sandals and say we've no money for butter. I shall sit down on the pavement when I am tired And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells And run my stick along public railings And make up for the sobriety of my youth. I shall go out in my slippers in the rain And pick flowers in other people's gardens And learn to spit. You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat And eat three pounds of sausages at a go Or only bread and a pickle for a week And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes But now we must have clothes that keep us dry And pay our rent and not swear in the street And set a good example for the children. We will have friends to dinner and read the papers. But maybe I ought to practice a little now? So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised When suddenly I am old and start to wear purple. By Jenny Joseph, Trenton NJ
I watched Captain Kangaroo all my childhood .I really loved that show .Mr Greenjeans was cool .I loved the ping pong drop they used to do .Ahh good memories
Mr. Moose dropped ping pong balls on people all the time, lol. All they had to do was say something to set him off. Good times!
