Poetry: Behind the times

Oh rocking chair and sunshine,
Where on my porch I sit,
No television here today,
No light do I have lit.

Oh how wonderful to be,
Behind the times today.

I face a path into the trees,
That only feet have met.
No cars today, I'll pass,
Some exercise I'll get.

Oh how peaceful to be,
Behind the times today.

The sunset comes so quiet,
The candles now burn strong.
The curtains blow in the wind,
There is no air conditioning on.

Oh my, planned out so awesome,
Being behind the times today.

To bed, I snuff the candles,
And click on the evening news.
Just to check the weather,
But oh, the peace I lose.

For it was relaxing in every way,
Being behind the times today.

    "I am behind the times", she says,
    In her kitchen poorly lit.

    Little hippie
    Long hair, bandannas, blue jeans,
    Tie-dye, toke, turn off
    Mushroom, cloud and taken
    Listening first to Tommy
    Amazed.
    And

    Behind the times is not so bad.

    It's more important to stay informed

    to what's relevant during the current times.

    Sure,
