8-Bit Baby

There was a day when all was cubes,
and music was all clicks.
When consoles were my hometown,
and my hands were just joysticks.

I long to be a child again,
if only to play games.
They tell me I can still enjoy,
but it will never be the same.

From hopping Koopas every day,
to finding Master Swords,
I wish I had that wonder again,
because without it life's a chore. 

And getting sent from place to place,
back then was so much fun.
But cake now seems such poor reward,
for fighting off Bowser's demon horde.
