John Lawless Poet Couplet

Let's Bring Back the Good Old Days

Let’s bring back those “Good old days”
Claim it’s for the best

Give everyone a washing bin
Lye soap and scrubbing board

Hang the clothes on a ‘clothes line”
Outside to let them dry

Bring back the “in ground” compost bin
Metal cans of un-bagged trash

Leave the mice and rats alone
They have a “lobby” of their own

Buy your groceries every day
In bags for which you have to pay

You’ll be in bed by ten at night
Cuz that’s when they’ll turn out the lights

So go ahead, I dare ya, Tweet it
They serve us CROW knowing we’ll eat it
