No more do the horses pull the plow

Nor the colleen deas milk the cow

No more will the young lad cast a glance

Hop off the bike for a new romance


He's flying down the road in a car

On his way to the local town bar

His feet are heavy on the throttle

Now the fresh milk comes in a bottle.


No more dancing at the old crossroads

Nor ceilis in the private abodes

There may be no more warm turf fire glow

But all homes still have a radio


They are driving miles as commuters

With telephones that are computers

While we remember ponies and traps

They're talking about twitter and apps


The past is on the YouTube for free

Or learn about it on grandpa's knee

Alas those days are not coming back

The happy old days before Prozac
