Modern Hula Hoop: Whatever Happened to 'Pet Rocks'

Isn't it funny how fancies come &; go?
What was oh so terrible yesterday,
is so damn fashionable today.

Doesn't seem all that long ago
that hospital birth was the "It-thing".
Women were proud to tell you that THEIR
baby was born at the hospital&;#8230;
all FIVE of them, even!
Nowadays, it's "hip"
to have the babies at home.
For a while, formula was "the answer"
Now? "Breast is best".

I'd say that our society is just about as fickle
as an eighteen year old freshman in college&;#8230;
It just can't seem to make up its mind.
What is going to be "cool" tomorrow?
Will I be sorry that I cooked
my steak "well-done"?
Will I regret not eating seafood due to toxicity?
Will the cake taste
as good with just the egg whites&;#8230;
Because the yellows are bad
for you, you know!
(At least, TODAY they are)
Should I take extra
folic acid while I'm pregnant?
Perhaps, being a woman,
I should drink more milk?
Do I ingest too many carbohydrates?
Too much fat?
Is it really better to exercise EVERY
day for 20 minutes?
Or is forty minutes every OTHER
day the better option?

What will they think of next?
What is the latest craze?
When will it be "in-vogue"
to wear polyester again?
When can I water my lawn on an "odd-day"?
When does the next train board for the
Trend Train? I'd like advance tickets, please.
