Understandable Care



I know a careless old cowboy
who wishes she'd bought a lifetime's supply
of dieldrin back in the day,
because nothing's as good today.

Is there a careless one out there
still using today
the TCE degreaser she,
or her granma,
bought a lifetime's supply of,
or more,
back in the Wild West,
because IT would always be the best?

Makes you wonder how many things you used as a matter of course over your lifetime that is like this. I remember helping my father build with asbestos back when everyone thought it was safe. Good you bring this to the fore.
