The poem I've shared today was written about 4.5 years ago, and it talks about how the more things change, the more they stay the same. Today’s version of this poem is now updated for our current decade of the 2020s as well. 🤖
Alright, poem starts in 3… 2… 1!
(1980's) Kids these days! What will we do! They're always out with friends. They're always reading comic books and pushing up our spends! (1990's) Kids these days! They have no clue of what their life can be! They just keep watching silly cartoon films on the TV! (2000's) Kids these days! They are the worst! They're violent, angry, foul. For they keep playing video games and curse and yell and scowl. (2010's) Kids these days! They're getting dumb! Their brains are gonna freeze! They're on their stupid phones all time with stories, posts and tweets. (2020's) Kids these days don't use their brains! They talk to some AI to answer every random thought, each what, each which, each why! (Reality) Kids these days! What's up with them? They're always having fun. The problem is - I’m not a kid, so I am having none. 🙃🙃

No TV until I was 20 in 1954...i spent my early years reading...and listening to the radio on Saturday morning, when Let's Pretend aired from NYC produced by Nyla mack sponsoredCream of Wheat. It produced Fairy tales, which I loved. All the character's had great voices...and President Ronald Reagan usually played the prince. I did not know it at the time. I am grateful that there was no TV or technology..we were not being harmed by all the radiation that people are experiencing now. In addition. TV has lowered intelligence not raised it.
When I was kid we don't have much entertainment resources. But we played lits of outdoor games with very limited resources. But, we were so happy, So, kids know how to get fun ,& they enjoy everything
