Atavism ... Foggy

Today’s word is “atavism” ... at-uh-viz-uhm ... reversion to an earlier type; throwback. (Dictionary.com)

Foggy
Phones with dials, Colgate smiles,
Roller skates with keys,
Saddle shoes, printed news,
Three channels on t.v.

Dick and Jane, Trigger’s mane,
Hopping on pogo sticks,
Real Mother Goose, Mr. Moose,
Milk with Nestle’s Quick.

Atavisims, looking back ...
Wondering what we see today
Will seem old by future’s view,
On some internet display.
