Premium Member Obsolete Antique
Get off of our roads!
You're obsolete, an antique
Go back to Nineteen-fifty

You're blocking traffic!
What's that? Ha ha. You said that
-- You're a symbol of gridlock?

Obsolete
Antiquated, so outdated, old relic, dinasour. These things that I hate to admit, I can 
relate to, oh such a bore. Old fossile, neanderthal, over the hill, wow this is overkill. 
I'm out of style, way too many miles, sure do need a change.

Wonder where...

Premium Member Embracing the Obsolete
Time running, flowing
away
where are the treasures
of yesterday
so many things gone, vanished
obsolete
the horse and buggy
the rumble seat
but more than that
as time goes by
the young don’t even seem to try
to embrace the things that we hold dear
like morals and values
it’s all to clear
the things we embraced in...

Becoming Obsolete
I’m becoming obsolete – 
I still have AOL
And use a land line when I’m home
(It’s on the wall, as well).

I send most greeting cards with stamps
And wash my plates by hand.
I light my oven with a match,
Which some can’t understand.

I perk my coffee, read from...

To the Obsolete
Pass out your punishment
I care not for your ideals
nor am I capable to accept

Pass out your punishment
Your "logic" offends 
and I will not entertain

Pass out your punishment
I fear you not, you are obsolete in my mind
You choose lies before truth 
you are unforgivable 
and I...

Obsolete Brilliance
So concerned with the skill
But anyone's skilled with language
Everyone knows the power of will
Though words rarely show knowledge

So i say screw the pettiness of being clever
I say screw those who value wit over truth
Why do we appreciate those under cover
Yet we let them hide because...

Premium Member Mr and Mrs Obsolete
~ Mr. and Mrs. Obsolete ~


A picker of pockets used to get cash
Now just credit cards, and never a stash
   Shed a tear for old pickers
   They're dying off quicker
Than bearded ladies without a moustache...

Obsolete Alliances
Punishment without a crime is abuse.
Ignoring everything we smother within is neglect.
Breathing water and sand while
The sun is falling, the sky is torn with it.
The gulfs of god have moved.

We are artists. I direct my life,
A train through a tunnel, only
Rarely crashing. A child 
Becoming...

Premium Member Obsolete Professions - To Delete
Of all the professions ever been in the world
      Some are rightly regarded today as absurd

    The Western Union man just can't compete
      with high-tech texts and twitters and tweets

Obsolete
We have a feeling
my love and I
that it's time to leave.
It is the passing
of an earlier time
for which we grieve.

Then, right was right,
hope was bright,
and civility was ever in sight.
We were free our minds to speak
no need for games of hide and seek
or to be...

Premium Member Obsolete Word
I'm heartsick that "gals" no longer remain
Gals are called guys, how completely insane
Please gals, hurry back
Your charms we so lack
It's a good word that we must now regain

Hawaii, Where The Meek Is Obsolete

When within a unicameral state,
Where there is no reasonable debate,
Whether you vote all yea,
Whether you vote all nay,
Why ask if a communist-styled dictate?

"obsolete"
Old and outdated.
Diligent and worn-out; have faded.
Useful and used.
Left confused.
Why people only use me?
Refusing to look beside the outward appearance; there's more than
what the eyes can see.
Only talked to when they're in trouble or they're in need.
Forgotten actions that only seem mean.
Tossed to the side;...

Frankfurter is an obsolete word
Then again beanie weanie sounds absurd

Premium Member Ticket Man is Obsolete
Time to open up your world
let them jump right into the mix 
taste the vast mind pool of your existence
no need for a ticket tearing man
worthy journeys commence for free.

Though impossible-have no prejudice
everyone's invited into your destiny
some will yearn to stay
some will beg to leave
