Yesterday Kid Poem by Joseph Tanner

Yesterday kid,
What it was like to be a yesterday kid?
With no cares in the world.
Where playing games consisted of being outside,
Using their imagination,
Playing cops and robbers,
Teddy bear picnic.
Today kid are zapping aliens,
Car-jacking and slaughtering zombies,
In front of their 40 inch plasma TV.
Yesterday kid would fight with his fist,
Today knives are brought into play.
Yesterday kid made radio shows on tape,
Listened to music on a walkman,
Having to turn over the cassette.
Today kid film crazies on mobile and post on them Youtube,
I-pods holds thousands without having to turn it over.
Yesterday kid passed messages in class,
Today with a vibration you’ve just received a text.
Yesterday kid had to approach a girl to get a date,
Today cyber dating, with a wink you’ll be mine.
Yesterday kid had to walk to the shop,
Today it’s all brought to us.
So I type away on my laptop,
A sudden thought crossed my mind,
I used to write with a pen,
That was yesterday kid.
