It's funny, 

.

I wasn't raised in the era

.

Of gramophones and vinyl,

.

Wasn't raised with the soft grain

.

And delicate needle, of phonograph records

.

And radio timetables.

.

.

So now, 

.

Whenever I hear an old hippie 

.

Say they used to love listening to their classic 45s,

.

I can't help but scoff at them, a little,

.

Because for me, the way I was brought up,

.

All that comes to mind 

.

When I hear the term 45

.

.

Is the caliber.
