Like An Old Antique
This golden age is pure mystique
When describing someone past his peak
Who's somewhat stilted and oblique
Like an old antique
Like a grandfather clock running out of time
Like a cold limeade without the lime
Like a rhyming poet without a rhyme
Like an old antique
Like a Big Mac Burger without a bun
Like our universe without our sun
Like a convent without a nun
Like an old antique
Antiquation has some value, I'm told
As compensation for being old
But I see it as just fool's gold
Like an old antique
