Too many years
I've been in this storm,
thunder and lightning
smokestack blues,
coal tar dyed
purpled insides,
pre-Rachelite
insecticide,DDT
fun-in-the-fog,
non-stick frying pan
nonfat diet,
 

tanning bed irradiated,
Three-Mile Island
scent in the air
gotta pack up 
my wind-up radio
five-year supply
of freeze-dried
food, my means
of self-defense
(great novels 
not guns),
head for the woods
to preserve my brain.

I am glad that you could not accomplish the replacement as you say you intended.  I view your postings as Part I and Part II.  I appreciate your take on the topic, a mixture of ironic, humor, distressment, resignation, rebellion, and sardonic wit.  
Cheers.

Definitely. 
 

I like this but have no idea why. It references things that have never featured in my life but does so with a lightness of foot and an ease that makes it strangely compelling.

Well "strangely compelling" is the very most I could hope for with this one. Thanks Dave
