Concrete revival, and storefront doors 
Posted: 3/9/2006 12:01:32 PM 

I still remember the old days of wood and straw and clay
when timbers from dark forest were dragged to town each day
the Belgiums and Clydesdales were clogging the streets
nobody ever expected white bright 300 count sheets

If you had glass in a window for the front of your store
you were a wealthy merchant and had to charge more
Common rabble wouldn't even think to enter your door
tracking all of the crud across polished hardwood floor

This was a time on honour and chivilrous pride
not like now as we take the concrete slide
remaking doorways to look Roman and hide
how easy it is to change what you decide

We scrapped warm boardwalks for solid cement
put up concrete walls to protect and prevent
the cost factor lets landlords jack up the rent
They now have bunkers for all new wave gents.

Is this a revival or catastrophy of sorts
concrete stadium seats won't burn with hot sports
the shapes of things can curve with contorts
everyone now goes to malls wearing their shorts

Guess it really doesn't matter about those days of old
some concrete revilalist storefront doors are bold
When I sit infront of my airtight I'm not feeling cold
I don't know if I bought all the things I was sold
