Modern
I bought some pumpkin in a can
To make a pumpkin bread.
In days of old, I would have used
A pumpkin, whole, instead.
I wouldn’t have been happy
Scooping out that pumpkin gunk.
Just dealing with that mess
Would sure have put me in a funk.
Machines have done the job for me
And so I’ve caught a break,
A little shortcut but I still
Can brag that I did bake.
I’m grateful for this modern age –
It helps, without a doubt;
But I could take it one step further
And just order out!
