Old Fashion . . .

I have been called, "old fashion."

I'm as proud, as can be, of that!

When at work, I work!

I say, what I think, and . . . think what I say!

Family and friends mean, the most, to me.

I do not drink, nor fool around,

when forced into the corner, I shall stand my ground!

The closest I come to a Texting Teddy, is what your reading now.

I wear my heart upon my sleeve!

I type and post "me" for all to see.

I love rainbows after a storm,

Laughing babies, and puppy dogs, I simply adore,

I shall never, ever . . . get enough!

I still cry at the end of "It's A Wonderful Life,"

The simplistic principles, I hold so dear!

As the world goes mad, I strive to simply, be me!

I'm old fashion and wear my badge of honor!

I said recently "I'm old fashion."

That was taken as negativity in the world of today!

So sad to an old man, who has always gave all!

If that's the tone heard, spoken and thought today,

There shall be no tomorrow, I shed tears for that, I'm old fashion, that way!
