Good Old Days Market

A 'Good Old Days Market' sign seen With arrows that point to the scene; There hidden by wall Of stone, very tall, I ventured and found behind screen, Some tables with items arranged... Such irony...somewhat deranged! There spread out in view... Still wanted by few... Remains, by new tech, now estranged! Typewriters galore, 'modern' style. Old telephones that you must dial. Flip cellphones that close... Eight-track videos... Oh, such a 'nostalgic' junk pile! Some huge V H S movie cams, The weight of two five-pounder hams. Fax senders...hand fed... Received...in hands read, And heaps of outdated programs! Old Apple computers, diskettes; Recorders with lots of cassettes. Fat TVs with tubes, Old Kodaks, flashcubes... Those 'good' old days? Gone! No regrets! Sandra M. Haight

Thank you so much, CayCay. It was a fun write for me. But it is amazing how quickly technology upgrades our 'gadgets' these days and the older versions are so quickly cast aside.
