Times I Remember

I remember days gone by from way back in my past, when everything we had to buy was really made to last. Trust, respect and courtesy were taught in every school, and swearing in the street considered anything but cool. safe for children in the street with policeman on their beat, and families had set meal times when they all sat down to eat. Marriage used to be for life your vows had left no doubt, divorce was for special cases and was not an easy way out. People dressed much smarter and walked about with pride, no-one looking like a tramp would dare to go outside. These days things are so different people are ruled by machines, but the times I remember best are the wonderful days of my teens.
