McCoy's Life Journey曉風

Times have changed,
時代不一樣囉
⋯⋯ And we've often rewound the clock,
讓我們倒轉時鐘
Since the Puritans got a shock,
回到當年清教徒登上普利茅斯岩
When they landed on Plymouth Rock.
遙想他們是如此的驚訝
If today,
要是是在今天
Any shock they should try to stem,
可能要等到
'Stead of landing on Plymouth Rock,
普利茅斯岩降落在他們身上
Plymouth Rock would land on them.
才會嚇到他們
In olden days a glimpse of stocking
在過去的日子裡
Was looked on as something shocking,
長統襪總是引人注目
But now, God knows,
但是現在天曉得
Anything Goes.
凡事皆可
Good authors too who once knew better words,

Now only use four letter words Writing prose,
