A Trolaan Poem
The Last Straw by damommy

Plastic straws will be passe -
Puzzling thought without a doubt.
Purchase them while you still may.
Put away, you won’t run out.
 
Left with what, we don’t know yet.
Likely something very strange.
Long for days I’ll ne’er forget,
lovely times that saw no change.
 
Emphasizing eras past,
even memories of then,
edging questions never asked,
expert of ‘remember when.’
 
Myopically, I lack perspective,
miffed by ruined olden days.
Maybe being too reflective,
minimizing modern ways.
