Trends Come and Go

I looked in all the nooks whats left of my old books I used to read so much now their all rust and dust I used to call my friends now I text and press send send cards by that web site to make their hearts feel light I know cash will not last coins a thing of the past stores like when you swipe cards cash will one day be barred Cars will soon be air borne the geese will honk their horns trains, planes will go more fast a blur that will speed past Smart phones are the new trend keep up with the Jones friend dont care to says my brain some new trends are just lame 2-6-18

Hi Cheryl, I don't care to keep up with the Jones'. If I did I would stay broke and money is tight as it is. I like your pen and your style. Congratulations on your winning write. It was well deserved:-) Alexis

The advances' in technology have gone into warp drive over the last forty or fifty years, its hard to keep up sometimes and if you dont have some of these gadgets people think you're some kind of caveman, frightening sometimes. Great rhyme Cheryl. Regards Tom
