we used to make things in the kitchen from scratch,
no poly wotsit or monogluts, no additives from factories
that pump in E-numbers, just good wholesome organic
produce
which I am sure they now produce in a plastics distillery somewhere in Swansea.
'Come home to a real fire' made in China and run on gas piped in from Russia,
(do I look old in this poem?)

Changing the record which is no longer a record,
discs should be what you slip.

everything gives me the pip
except for
fruits which have been genetically
modified.
