mad men, really?

i do not wish for the good old days of my youth
i am very happy with the way the world is going
skinny ties, horn rim glasses, brylcreem and bermuda shorts
these are the things which drove us running to disco

how did these suddenly become cool again?
this needs to stop now, this sudden love
of the early 60s, because that means
i will have to watch the 70s and the 80s again
and once was enough

lets all get nostalgic for days that have not yet come
remember fondly the glorious days
when we wore comfortable and functional clothing
lived a carbon-neutral lifestyle
everyone had a job
and we forgot what war was for

all golden lit summer afternoons
and crisp mornings comfortable with our warm coffee
are no longer trapped in the past,
     slowly fading
instead memory beckons us onwards,
     things gradually coming into focus
those will be the good new days

I dont want to relive the 70s and 80s either!!! Once was enough.
