Bring Back the Radio

Oh I get so frustrated with the new fangdangled appliances. I just want one button to push that's all, just one button.

Bring Back the Radio
 
Bring back the radio, it hasn’t changed in its entire career.
Not like the records, eight tracks, cds, and dvds since they’re here.
They’ll all go away too and everything will be brand new.
Not to mention what the objects used to play them will do.
 
Vacuum cleaners break down all the time, even Fridges do
Bring back the trusted old broom and ice boxes too.
Appliances and things don't last anymore they want you to go broke.
By always buying some new creation has gotten to be a joke.
 
Now the Televisions are changing soon and the old ones are obsolete.
Learning how to work all the new gadgets really makes my mind weak.
We went from the good old home movies to VHS and now DVDs.
I can guarantee they too will be replaced soon, just to agitate me.
 
Bring back the radio, the only entertainment we had.
It was all that we needed and it wasn’t so bad.
Who can afford or understand all these new gagets that come.
Please bring back the radio, for I’m getting too dumb.
 
 Written by,
Bonnie May

Oh boy Bonnie, you just bring tears to my eyes as you words so sound familiar. Just tell me where the on-off button is that is all I want to know. Too many things get confusing and complicated and I do believe it is done on purpose, great write...

Be always safe,
Karen

You got grandkids, they know how to work anything built nowadays...all I got is Rufuz, all he knows how to do is eat and poop & keep me company, though for the most part that is enough...Ed

All the modern appliances are being built for convenience only, but they are easily broken down, then you will have to spend more money to buy new ones. When you have a radio, it seldom breaks, (I have not witnessed a broken radio yet in my lifetime) the only thing that would break is the radio station.

Good thought-provoking piece, Bonnie!
