Made You Look You Dirty Crook

“Made you look you dirty crook!” And all those colourful phrases Have vanished from our lexicon They now belong to the ages! “Keep your nose to the grindstone!” Is another from way back when So sad they've all but disappeared Wish they could go back again! Since the dawn of the computer age We speak in a different fashion Conversing in very short sentences Using acronyms without much passion! We now seem to have lost the ability To have an intelligent conversation Emailing, texting, or some such device Or some other glitzy presentation! I really long for those simpler days When people took time to listen And all the world seemed friendlier Now feels like something's missing!
