Date Posted:01-10-2020 05:30Copy HTML 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!

Great stuff, but, oh yes, I 'could' add a few more, lol, cleverly composed, Les x Opposites exist by virtue of each other
