How This Old World Has Changed

(I found this typed up in some papers that my Grandmother Kitty Elliott gave me; I don't know who the author is...)
How This Old World Has Changed
Since I was born some years ago
This world has changed somehow;
We use both milk and butter
That has never seen a cow.
We have instant coffee, instant tea
Instant this and that,
Lots of of other instant foods
Not fit to feed a cat.
We have substitute sugar, substitute for salt;
We have so many substitutes
We don't know who to fault.

Boys and girls both dress alike;
Can't tell one from the other.
Same way with Mom and Dad.
Can't tell Dad from Mother
One more thing that don't look right,
I think it is a sin;
They moved the cook stove out of doors
And moved the outhouse in!
I don't know how far this will go,
But up until this minute,
I love this good old world of ours
'Cause we can still live in it
