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
