Analysis of Since Then
I used to ride my bike a lot.
It took me everywhere;
The city park each day but not
On days real cold or those real hot.
For safety I did care!
Since then, I only drive.
So much has changed when but a boy
I read and read some more.
Much pleasure when I was alone
With books I was not on my own.
Oh, how I loved bookstores!
Since then, the internet.
