Here One Minute


"Here one minute, gone the next"
To claim otherwise is pure pretext
Since it states a long known truth
Case in point, our long gone youth

Not many good things really last
Most of them disappear too fast
Here are samples
Of relevant examples

That quality radio called Magnavox
Has gone the way of the bobby-sox
How many of us now ride trolleys
Or swoon at gals in the Ziegfeld Follies

From childhood to adulthood in our 'minute' of life
We enjoy good times and struggle through strife
"Here one minute, gone the next"
To claim otherwise is pure pretext
