Times Change

Times Change

Years ago with flat tire, away from a phone,
I drove on the rim to a shop to use a phone.
A month ago the car wouldn't start,
with cell phone I call AAA, in minutes help came.
Times have changed.

Years ago men's rooms were silent places.
The rule was no one talked once he entered.
Now there is a cacophony of chatter
as fellows are calling to here and there.
Times have changed.

Dick, Flash and Buck had amazing gadgets,
adults told us they weren't possible.
Dick, Flash and Buck today would be amazed
to see our gadgets including our phones.
Times have changed.

Not heard is “Where's a public phone?”
Where can kids now check for coins?
Where can Superman change today?
Where can sleazy private eyes hide?
Times have changed.

  1. Jack, you've inspired me to write something about where indeed Superman would change into his supergarb. And what about Dr. Who? You've got me thinking.
