Old or New?
They always say that something new is good.
But I happen to think that old is good too.
What about those jeans that fit you so fine?
They don't feel too rough like the ones on the rack.
The seams have stretched and the wash made is shrink.
But look at the comfort and what's in the pockets
it's a wallet that's filled, but don't let that fool you
I don't mean it's money that makes it all good.
There's a certain something about the old things
they have a certain meaning within all of our hearts.
Remember the picture? The one that you made
among your first grade friends?
It's still in the attic with your first ball mitt.
Next time you go shopping, maybe get what you need
Cause there are some things that are feeling forgotten.
