The world has changed in many ways <br />Keyboards instead of pencils <br />Yet I remember the “Good Old Days” <br />When we still drew with stencils <br /> <br />I remember the Good Old Days <br />Dancing was fox trott-en <br />The world has changed in many ways <br />The Fox Trot’s now forgotten <br /> <br />The world has changed in many ways <br />Airplanes were once propelled <br />I remember the “Good Old Days” <br />Before jet planes excelled <br /> <br />I remember the “Good Old Days” <br />On dates, those good night kisses <br />The world has changed in many ways <br />No more those simple blisses <br /> <br />The world has changed in many ways <br />Where are Ginger and Astaire? <br />I remember the “Good Old Days” <br />When they danced beyond compare <br /> <br />I remember the “Good Old Days” <br />Baseball, our sporting pastime <br />The world has changed in many ways <br />Sporting violence and morass time <br /> <br />Can it be the “Good Old Days” <br />Are just better on reflection <br />And those worldly changes, in many ways <br />Don’t deserve my carped invection ?<br /><br />Stanley Cooper<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-good-old-days-4/
