A Curious Thing
A curious thing so bright and bold,
such a contrast to the snow?
what on earth is it for?
Superman booth?
Underpants on the outside,
of course.
A telephone,it says,
I vaguely remember one once,
on my grandmother’s bench,
in her retirement home,
but just to be sure,
I’ll just Google it,
of course.

It does, for me it’s the irony of smug moderns not realising that life went on before them.

Love this! When I wanted to explain the olden days to my six year old students, I would simply say that “back in the day” there was no remote control. Oh, the wonder and amazement on their sweet faces as I tried (unsuccessfully) to describe getting up and changing a channel.😯

Yes, a prehistoric time for them, such rapid change 🙂 Their faces would have been a picture for sure
