Good Old Days
The "good old days"
are present now
as the days of dispensation.
Be grateful for
the clemency
as an unearned compensation.
The "good old days"
are as recent
as the days before disaster.
Be pleased about
the instant good
as a dexterous passed master.
The "good old days"
are still to come
as the days of future review.
Be content with
the foundation
as a potential meant for you.
