Christopher Flaherty Poet Free verse

Man , I Miss That Young Lad

Man , I miss that young Lad

Kids today seem to live life through the entertainment media
There like a human encyclopaedia
Of this weeks fad's and how to be bad
Spend entire days on Play Station 
MP3 , MTV Rap, What is this crap
Pants that don't fit and hats back to front
Boy am I glad , These things I never had
For when I was young I put to good use my imagination
By spending entire days in the park 
Wrote my name its in bark
And played ball with my dad
Boy what fun I had
Man , I miss that young Lad
