Dark Ages Revisited

If the Dark Ages were to come again and electricity would cease to exist, pray tell what'd happen to us? P'raps it be smart to start a list. Well I certainty wouldn't be sharing poetry across the web. You can bet your bottom dollar! And if I needed some help on a fence my smart phone wouldn't do much good. I'd have to inhale big and give a loud holler! I guess I'd roll up my sleeves, stick my hand in the dirt, and plant some veggies. Yard-work's a royal pain, but I'd have no choice. Like the class nerd and the unavoidable wedgie. Suppose I'd give my plasma flat screen a nice smash with a dusty baseball bat. After I sweep up the glass, who knows, it might make a good home for a street cat. I guess Jolie's double mastectomy would be off of everyone's mind. How comical would that be to crack open a magazine with the headline, "Twitter reaches 50 million followers #hash-tag amazing". Might stare at birds and trees a bit more often, watch the cows grazing as if it were quality entertainment. There'd be downfalls no doubt. All those Twitter updates I'd surely lament: "Sitting on the sofa..." "Drinking a glass of water..." "Man, are those leaves starting to pile!" If I wanted recognition I suppose I'd have to get off my butt and do something worthwhile. Those little dinner's-ready texts would be a thing of the past. We'd all be holding hands at the table like a spell being cast. You laugh now at the corny jokes, but these what-ifs leaves your mind to wander. If the Dark Ages were to come again I guess imagination would be your major time-killer... 'specially in the cold winter.
