Chalk

Embrace the new technologies, acquiring knowledge as your goal, in the realm of search and seizure feed your mind, refresh your soul. Social Media and bloggers, irritants in cyber space will whore themselves for your attention, waste your time, usurp your place. In my youth, before the outbreak, schooldays were much simpler then, homework, classwork, all handwritten, essays done in fountain pen. You fire up your fancy lap tops, Facebook, Twitter, Cyber Talk, while I give thanks for ink wells, pen nibs, blotting paper, sticks of chalk.

Ha so you love the old way. I got to admit, I miss the old way. However, I can't allow the social way of life pass me by. LOL... Love the poem. Keith. SKAT

I'm definitely for the new technology, but I can't help but have a fondness for the old methods! Thanks SKAT! Best wishes, Keith
