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
