Who Knew
Years ago, when men wore hats
And women heels instead of flats,
Who knew unsaturated fats
Were somehow kind of healthy?
When TV’s were in black and white
And folks dressed up before a flight,
Who knew that every deep-fried bite
Would need us to be stealthy?
When ice cream cones cost 15 cents
And pronouns didn’t cause offense,
Who knew with rules some could dispense
And wind up smug and wealthy?
