Sometimes the new
kicks out the old
to make room for shiny, bright things
but often the old were better than new
but you only know
once they've been replaced
.
Too often the old get thrown out
or shoved
to the back of a dark closet corner
there they sit
just biding their time
until those new shiny things
will replace it again
this time
in that dark closet corner
.
The moral my friends
isn't to toss or give it away
but take thought to the things you replace
though they may be shiny
sometimes the old just do the trick
better than any new fangled
updated version
of our respectable old things
.
Old friends are especially hard to replace
though the updated version is nice
the old stories and laughter
sometimes just do the trick
when the newest version just won't suffice
