#47 Welcome to Nostalgia

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here to sell you one hell of an adventure

The only fear that I have is that you'll love too well it's splendour

You'll be enticed, drawn in, and instantly infatuated

As I present to you the boldest hypothetical ever instigated



Nostalgia. Where you can go back and live in the past

Go back to your birth or just re-eat this morning's good breakfast

In fact it can do both, and intertwine strands of time so fine

So that you'll align any personal timeline highlight you call mine



Yes re-relive your memories for only a minimal fee

We'll even add in this rose tinted filter for free

Oh, can't you see how much better your life could be here

Sure you can stay for a while, of that don't you fear



In fact some of our clientele stay for a long time indeed

They get almost defensive if you try to make them recede

After all it's comfortable here, what on Earth is the harm?

It's good for you, cover the pains of today with this temporal balm



Now I'm nothing if not honest, you see I did mention a price.

It's very small, practically minimal, but this virtuous land, it can be a vice

See while it's good to visit and remember where you came from first

It's like an elixir which can be addictive to those who develop fix for the thirst



But never mind that! Get lost in happy mis-memories and drink the present away

It's scary there, just a few sips and you'll return to a happier day

Maybe you'll come to love Nostalgia, maybe you'll never want to leave

Maybe Nostalgia is cruel, and your time it might just thieve



But aside from all that, why not come for a small trip?

Our drink is healthy, even doctors recommend the occasional small sip

Come on. What's the worst that could happen, do you really need much persuasion?

Come to Nostalgia. Give in to temptation.
