they don't make things the way they used to

things

have a tendency to die.

too early

at times.

i'll give you the short

list.

cars,

and water heaters,

anything with engines.

toasters,

the furnace.

it's the way of the world.

okay.

yes. i'll include 

relationships on that

list as well.

and we stand back

and say

they don't make things

the way they used.

that goes for us too,

i imagine.
