The Older WaysAs a candle it does burn The shorter it gets too- The further we go ahead sometimes The less good things we have it's true- Times are getting to where some wish Money it grew upon a tree- But way back in the older days They saved so very much you see- Back in the older Victorian ways The way they did some things back when- If we could do just of them a few So many would save ever so much and then- By doing and making just a few things As they did before electricity and such- Would save today way more than your pay And give birth to self achievement and much- Another way to match and help recycling From furniture to jams and cooking- Washing and making clothes as well Saving so much while others are looking- Making your home made bread and cakes etc Home made butter , cream and spreads- Patchwork quilts and even warm rugs All appreciated then on beds- The older ways from the older days Candles beautiful how they would burn- Today one could save so very much indeed If some of the older ways would learn- Terrence Michael Sutton copyright 2009 Poetry Ad-Free Upgrades Vote for this poem
