What I Learned From Old Music
While downloading some music
a thought crossed my mind,
of things that I learned in the past
when playing old music in various formats
which, sadly, were not meant to last.
I learned concentration when using a biro
to untangle a music cassette,
and patience when searching my reel-to-reel
for a song whose place I would forget.
And keeping my hand steady,
breathing quite slowly, thus making my
body relaxed,
when lowering the stylus on my record player
to land at the start of a track.
So my patience, control and nimbleness of finger
I've held up to the present day,
while all the young 'uns who want everything now,
have missed out on these joys-
Just press 'Play'.
