I often tell my coworkers that all of my cultural references are 50 years old. While they share memes from the Simpson’s or Marvel movies, I am more apt to share Green Acres or song lyrics from the 70s.

Happened recently with my daughter as well. She texted a photo of her cats crawling all over her. I replied

Why do kitties suddenly appear
Every time you are near
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you

Stunned, she asks “Did you write that?” That night I introduced her to the Carpenters.
