Banished to obscurity!
As new words come to take their place;
Lets make a list, delete, erase!

TAPE RECORDERS, FLOPPY DISCS,
CASSETTES and CDs made the list!
TABLETS have replaced LAPTOPS;
And IPHONES soon will be forgot!

THRICE is gone; TWICE is next;
AD or PROMO; which is best?
Though CARBON COPIES aren’t seen;
That’s what CC emails mean!

Hashtags now are all the rage;
Replacing POUND SIGNS center stage.
Coined by Google techies so;
We could let the # key go!

Cinemas are where well be;
Not to MOVIES; nosiree!
KODAK MOMENTS once enjoyed;
Are gone with FILM, like POLAROID.

We neednt REWIND like before;
Or ROLL UP windows on our cars!
And no one asks if you prefer;
SMOKING OR NON-SMOKING sir!

MODEMS, 8-TRACKS, take us back;
To PRINCESS PHONES and BOOTHS, to yak.
When MA BELL charged us just a dime;
The same price as a quick shoeshine!

So unpack your HULA HOOP;
Your POODLE SKIRT and SHOOT-THE-CHUTE!
Try to keep up DADDY-O;
Your age is showing, dontcha know!
