Fads Come and Fads Go

Fads come and fads go Is this pronoun thing a ho ho ho? I am sure for some it is important and real. Others jump on, wanting more zip and zeal. Tik Tok and U-tube, two of today’s norms Taking new directions, creating new forms Will they both be passé’ in the thirties? Names going back to Homers and Gerties? Database and web were unknown in the eighties. Google was not a word known to us natives. Word processors barely peeking out. LOL and MMAT make me want to shout! The first computers took an entire room. No one fathomed owning one. Now we all talk away on Zoom. High tech craziness. Oh what fun! Things are moving at mega-super-speed. People like Putin filled with incredible greed. Sex traffickers are real and true. I liked the old ways. How about you?

So much to chew on here, Caren. I kinda liked the old ways, but not as much as I pretend to remember. Things were certainly more boring 'back then.' Yet as for the warp-speed of change today, it's a little too much... Complain, complain - my middle name. lol.

Oh yes, indeed. I liked the old ways! In fact, I'd like to go back as far as the Disco years! On the other hand, I suspect this SCOTUS is going to take us back to times I didn't like so much!

I have a feeling you might be right
