The Way Poem by Don Taco

 The Way                                                                         by Don Taco



this is the way we've always done it

that's what makes this the only way

this is just how we've always run it

not gonna make a change today

this is the best and only way


not gonna take a chance on learning

anything that might change our way

couldn't care less that books are burning

I never read them anyway

this is the best and only way


this is the way we've always done it

this is the way it's gonna stay

show me a new idea, I'll shun it

show me a new game, I won't play

this is the best and only way


we've got our rules and regulations

follow them till we're old and grey

we thumb our nose at new creations

we celebrate our feet of clay

this is the best and only way


it was good enough for grandpa

and it's good enough for me

you can blow your trumpet, but you'll never

knock down any walls

it's been tried and true, it's tested

new ideas? not interested

it was good enough for the

neanderthals

it works!
