The Appearance of Compact Discs

Remember music on cassette
Rewinding
Stop
Clunk
Play

In my cartoon pajamas
Waiting for songs

Record
Clunk
Play

My ma paid me for drying
And tidying Matt’s toys
Stop

The money bought tapes

Once a month
There was a fiver
For cleaning Teb’s Astra

More music
Stop

Clunk

Cooler than cassette CD’s
Arrived and my tapes
Were sold off or put in a box

The box is gone
And now compact discs
Are becoming as useless
As a set of keys
to a unlocked door.
