When I was young I never used the phone, <br />There wasn't one at home 'till I was ten. <br />And when I started work I went alone <br />To bank the cash for town's rates, such was then <br />The calm environment of former days. <br />There was no rush, though surely everything, <br />Or nearly everything, was done by ways <br />That over time had shown to be unfailing. <br />Our modern pace of life has proved to be <br />Too fast for those whose lives are firmly set <br />In ways developed over time, like me. <br />But nonetheless I'll strive to meet it yet! <br /> <br />Life's just like tennis. I may lose this set: <br />I shall my standards raise to win this bet!<br /><br />Eric Bult<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/anyone-for-tennis/
