“Knight Rider” by Coda2
If you could choose a
Time in which to live,
Which age would it be?
Maybe ancient Rome
With g’ds, gladiators, and
The myths of greatness.
How ’bout the middle ages
Filled with princesses and knights.
Castles and glory!
Or is the jazz age,
With its glam gals, and gangster,
more preferable?
Before you answer
Think of power, plumbing,
And the great depression.
If you want to be
Cold, smelly, and destitute,
Then the past is yours.
I’ll stay here.
