Fruity-Type Gadgets
Newspapers and TV are on the way out
As a source for the latest news
Fruity-type gadgets have taken over
We've lost the ability to choose
These gadgets are called Gooseberrys
No wait, that sounds a bit obtuse
Now I remember, they're Blackberrys
Sounds like something farmers produce
Can't keep up with the latest vernacular
Why not call 'em phones, whatcha think?
Or handheld communication devices
You're driving us seniors to drink
Remember back in the good old days
People talked face to face with each other
Usually spoke in total complete sentences
Knew the names of your sister and brother
This old world has become so complicated
Once was fun to carry on a conversation
We'd discuss all the latest gossip in town
Without technological aggravation
Now we talk with folks worlds away
As if they live just down the block
Sure miss that face to face communication
With Blackberrys, our jaws are locked
