Three Things From Long Ago

Three things from a long time ago:

1. Great-Grandma's hair pin.

2. Aunt Violet's washboard.

3. Loop 494.
============================================
Used to be-
The main thoroughfare in East Montgomery County.
.

.
Three things about the corner of Loop 494 and Ford Road:

1. There is an awful lot of traffic coming out of Ford Road.

2. They have changed the signals to accomodate the traffic.

3. There are still red-light runners.
============================================
Some folks just think that they own the road-
The thought of having to wait, is such a heavy load.
.

.
Three things that have remained the same in politics:

1. Politicians run for office.

2. Politicians win their office slots.

3. Politicians lie, steal, and cheat.
=============================================
Some act like they should-
But others should take ethics classes,
as if it would do any good.
