Being Old-fashioned
A bookshop
should be just that
and not a toy store
Or a cd rack
The contents thereof
should have pages to turn
Even dog ears I tolerate
but no, not Kindles
Moon-walking in a gym
while we live on the earth
A new maxim
on the planet of our birth
Festivities unmarred
by texts on the phone
a thing of the past now,
a norm overthrown
Parks replaced
with parking space
A hundred families
Vertically placed
Choices too many
and therefore none
Channels aplenty
reruns of a rerun
New gadget arrives
old one’s thrown
Keeping up with the times
compulsions of our own
The rusty, dusty mind
sometimes desists
Being old-fashioned
these changes it resists
Not ready to be at par
With the race, in the race
The old-fashioned mind
and its imaginary place

Diagonally 
Nicely put 🙂 loved to read it
you really do write well!
and the master speaks 🙂
if I keep trying, I’ll probably learn to string together lines atleast half as well as you do some day..
Really nice vai but I disagree with you about the Kindle – it really is awesome! 🙂
🙂 never used one, the very concept threatens my long-cherished dream of owning a large home library 😉
as I said, I am old-fashioned
That’s what I thought too – but I’m a convert.
It’s too… electronic! To quote Molly Weasley via JKR, “Do not trust something if you can’t see where it keeps its brain..”
Well written 🙂
