I'M Old Fashioned

I'm an old fashioned fellow In a new-fangled world, A square peg in a very round hole. Gone's the world I grew up in, This one's in a tailspin And spiraling out of control. Sometimes it's hard to keep up As the world rushes by And technology isn't to blame, But the whole human race Needs to slow down its pace Before velocity snuffs out its flame.
