Then and Now

Once upon a time, in the
good old days, the horse car
was in its glory.
1t took a long time to go
from somewhere to any
where - but we didn't
mind that because it was, a
horse car. The jingle of
the bells in the distance
brought far off message,
high pitched but distinct,
that car was coming our
way.
We waited patiently
while the good old driver
turned and turned the hand
brake and brought his car
to a stop. Then we got
aboard the old bus, took a
side seat, swayed to and fro
with the see-sawing of the
car as the horses tugged
away to get started.
Patience! We had lots
Of it!
Cities have sprung up all
over this glorious land of
ours. The horse car has
gone-too slow.
Then we all got into the
habit of travelling fast,
then faster, then faster
until we lost track of the
speedometer.
Electric cars had to
fai ly fly along, stop
quickly, start quickly, get
there quickly.
