Time Encapsuled

100 years ago was 1924...
Macy's had their first parade!
My parents are not born yet.
Coolidge got his second term.

One third of cars they were electric!
All the movies silent screen, but...
they've now made the first TV!
No bikini bathing suits for 20 years!

Just 5 yrs since the pandemic...
2 packs of smokes were just a quarter.
5 years til the great depression.
Some things change.  Some never do!

2024 is our present...
kids imagine their new genders...
both my parents are long dead and gone!
Trump has his second term.

9% of cars are now electric...
we can go swimming in the nude.
4k porn is on the internet. No prudes!
Your cell phone's your TV!

Just 5 yrs since the pandemic
8 bucks for a pack of smokes.
Celebrities are memed...with jokes.
Some things change. Some never do!

Not many people live a 100 years...
but let's jump ahead one final time...
The year is 2124.  I AM DEAD!
WW4 killed most of us!  Just toast!!!

Nonstop disease. No phone. No cigarettes.
There is no nudity. Put on a burqa - that is not
legal to see!  You might live to see 40!
No cars. No Mars.  No bars.

Some things change. Some never do!
