With the Times
It doesn't pay to criticize
The world we see before our eyes
But I'll admit, it's very strange
Accepting each not-needed change.
Alexa keeps your shopping list
(A paper one has been dismissed)
And all the bills are paid online
(A mailer, stamped, did suit me fine).
The things we get from Amazon
(To name them, I'd go on and on)
Once waited, shelved, within a store;
Such shopping trips exist no more.
You program music on your phone
(The CD player left alone)
And brand-new shows you get to stream
(TV's no longer reign supreme).
Yet what's the point if we complain?
There's nothing we can really gain.
We must adapt or we'll be linked
With others who've become extinct.
