Times Have Changed

Times Have Changed
By Franklin Price

Times have changed, not for best
Consequences are confusing
Computers have replaced the rest
One has made what you're perusing

Internet replaced the letter
Wired phone and telegraph
Don't know how it gets much better
Makes us grimace, makes us laugh

Key strokes made this not a Bic
Sent out at the the speed of light,
For you to read, that's really quick
Instant info wrong or right

No further need for traveling
Computers keep us in the race
We can Face Time that's our thing
From right at home or any place

Fully clothed and at our leisure
In a suit or in the nude
Whether business or pleasure
Civilized or crass and crude

We receive both truth and lies 
It's hard to tell just which is which
 We must come to realize
These changing times are just a *****

These times have driven us to Snopes
Must question all we see and read
To find out if we're fools or dopes
Marks, to swindle, yes indeed

Consider this a warning call
Do not believe a thing you get
Question Snopes as you should all
It's not a source you should not vet
