PERVERSION AVERSION

by Charles E Minshall

The songs nowadays
Are sad plus istic,
And not completely
Realistic.
Maybe from a perverted mind
some of the happenings
You might find.
But I think most kids
Of this age and day,
Are as good as we were
Yesterday.
Come to think of it;
Each one is a miserable brat.
How dare they
Act like that.

LOL! We're sounding more and more like our fathers when we were teens playing loud rauchy heavy metal. Now my son's gangsta rap drives me nuts. Can't wait for him to get old, and see what my grand kids will force him to listen to. :o)

I wonder if birds have this same deal going on...like "(chirp chirp) Oh, tweety-pie, have you hear what our little nestling's have been singing these days?" — "Yes, my nightingale... (tweep tweep), - rminds me of when we were feather-brains..." :) :) :) Charlie you always cheer me up (chirrup!)

When I was a child I promised myself I'd never become a musical "lost in a time warp" person like my parents. Another broken promise! Congratulations on POTD.

Excellent poem, Sir. Perhaps I'm not alone in my frustration when I hear Kobain on a classic rock station. Indeed, it appears 'Old' is the new 'New'.
