Ain’t what it use to be

Subtitled: Future shock or getting old

Parody on the song; “The old gray mare” Author: Unknown

The old gray mare she, ain’t what she use to be.

And the Holden car these days it, ain’t what it use to be.

And the TV shows these day’s they, ain’t what they use to be.

Come to think of it, nothing ain’t what it use to be.

Even this old gray mare, I ain’t what I use to be

many long years ago.
