QOTD #200

What’s a topic or issue about which you’ve changed your mind?

To answer today’s question of the day, I’ve decided to flex my creativity. I hope you enjoy.

TIME MARCHES ON 🕰️

Fifty years was old, until you reached it 

Honestly, novel, unless you preached it.

Expensive just a word until you’ve spent it 

Money quite abundant, until you’ve lent it.

Time everlasting until it’s all gone 

Criticism lambasting but you carry on.

Twenty, quite young but no so long ago 

It was a milestone age for us you know.

New music trends and all our ovations 

Now audible on Classic Rock stations.

Naps were sacrilege at our youngest age

Now at age fifty-two, they’re quite the rage.

Nostalgia floods us with TV shows passed

Now streaming on services, mind surpassed.

Fast food we ate up at eighteen in a flash 

Now more like reconstituted tasteless trash.

Movies that were amazing in our youth 

Seem lame, older in our own the truth.

Our politics change like underwear 

We became informed and started to care.

World events touch us like never before

Educated, experienced, we know the score.

In youth, growing old seems such a change 

In reality, considerably more is rearranged…
