So many things were different,
When Grandpa was a boy.
He never saw a movie
And never had a toy.

He never soared aloft in planes;
No radio had he;
An auto was unusual,
A downright novelty.

He walked three miles to school each day,
And wrote upon a slate
And lots of things I daily eat,
Young grandpa never ate

He’s sure he fished with greater luck
Along his special streams;
And hazelnuts were bigger
In Grandpa’s day, it seems.

I wonder, when I’m Grandpa’s age,
If I will then enjoy
The thought that things were better,
When I was just a boy

Is Grandpa Complaining or just feeling food about his past?
