Automat

Then..........
.
Auto this, Auto that, do you recall
the Automat?
Buster Brown, Buster Keaton, mowing grass for
Mrs. Seaton
.
Cracker Balls, Cracker Jacks, visiting the mail box
not the FAX
Penny Candy, Penny Lane, summer days long and
inane
.
Shooting marbles, Shooting stars, would we see man land
on mars?
Mister Greenjeans, Mister Magoo, Saturday mornings with Captain
Kangaroo
.
Golden eggs, Golden rule, days we woke to go to
school
.
Now.......
.
Morning coffee, morning paper, let's read about the latest
caper
Digital Cameras, digital watch, preferring vodka over
scotch
.
Wedding rehearsals, wedding rings, sometimes lose their status of
favorite things
Driving kids, driving range, sleeping in is oh
so strange
.
Days become, days gone by, years have passed where did
they fly
Counting blessings, counting bills, current thoughts regarding
wills
.
Growing up, growing old, rarely ever so pleasant
as sometimes told
.
So.......
.
Auto this, Auto that, what happened to the days of the
Automat
