My Time Capsule

Of

Stuff you don’t need

 

Mobile phones,

Farmyard clones,

Cars that don’t need drivers.

Online banking,

Online spanking,

Conmen, crooks and skivers.

 

Men of straw,

Men of war,

Men who burned what went before.

Doubtful ads,

Diet fads,

Ads which always promise more.

 

Politicians,

Dieticians,

Economic with the truth;

Silly fashions,

Hormonal passions,

Relics from our youth.

 

Non-vine wine,

Come with me dine,

Cooking shows unending.

Facebook, Twitter,

Endless litter,

Greenhouse gas ascending.

 

 

Yes, it’s an incomplete list!

Thank you, Tony, glad you liked it. Adding people to the list is a brilliant idea, as I, too, have several names I would add haha,

Im late in reading this but that is very clever! Very current and should be used in English in schools, covers poetry and sociology - all in one. Love it! x

Great stuff, but, oh yes, I 'could' add a few more, lol, cleverly composed, Les x
