The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Old Fashioned Standards

I don't think I'm old fashioned
I just like old fashioned things
I have a lot of passion
For old jewellery and rings

Antiques especially furniture
Were made with love and care
Not like the stuff that's made today
I can't see any loving there

It's all made so quickly
Everything done really fast
Just simply thrown together
Certainly not made to last

This is not an exception
They say it saves on costs
Today it seems like quality
Is something that we've lost

Well said, especially your second verse, as the USA has helicopters dropping out of the sky like snowflakes . . . .
