old School

Old School
By joeys guy

I remember lessons from the old school
It was a code an unwritten rule

As a male I would get to my feet
To give the elderly or a woman the seat

When taking a girl out for a day
As the guy I would always pay

Music was understood and had meaning
A lot of songs today sounds like screaming

Entertainers wore costumes or dressed in clothes
Today so much body they expose

You didn’t always have to lock doors
No fences had to protect stores

As a young kid I played outside
Strangers didn’t bother us, we didn’t have to hide

We would hangout till late hours of night
When older we hung out even till daylight

Women could sit outside late and talk
It was safe to take a late night walk

Any time was safe to go stroll in the park
Try doing that now in the dark

People now wear pants down almost to the knees
It’s ugly, pick them up please

What happened to those good old days
Time passes and kids go through a craze
