Old Man

I see a change in history that bothers me
I see tiny cars that look like roller skates
I see people talking to machine to turn their lights on
I cannot find a phone both around
There are 100 channels on TV when we only had three
I can no longer get my milk delivered to me
My phone number is to long
I see cars driving themselves, what fun would that be?
Robots now operate on you, WOW!
Dictionary's are not in a book, they are now history
They have tires that fix themselves
There was more creativity then here today 
You no longer need a hammer to build a house
The drive-in is now gone
Food comes in a box and it can be fixed in minutes
Movies come on a disc

History is now a mystery to the young, back then we had real fun
We talked to one another face to face not through space
We had real sex, there was no sex-ting whatever that maybe
Love was a mystery not seen on TV
Time moved slower back then, we had more time on our hands
I really don’t know what to say, I just miss yesterday
