Once Upon A Time
I used to open doors, now they open for me.
I used to walk upstairs, now I’ve a Stannah stairlift.
I used to dial on my phone, now I press a little green icon.
I used to fall asleep counting wooly jumpers, now I take a pill.
I used to put a record on the turntable, now Lady Alexa does it for me.
I used to visit shops, now shops come to me.
I used to get a tangerine in my Christmas sticking, now it’s a voucher.
I used to vote in a booth, now it’s by proxy.
I used to listen to the Goons, now I watch Gogglebox.
I used to holiday in Blackpool, now it’s a cruise.
I used to be busy, now I’ve too much to think about.
