Video Games

Video Games My children were reared on video games Not my choice I know, but I take the blame The hours they spent on a computer screen Sent spears through my heart and caused me to scream A necessary evil, my husband did say They can learn from these things that they want to play... How can that be, its nothing but blood and gore His answer, I don’t know what you are looking at but try it some more The games that they played were frivolous and fun Not the one that I heard of that annihilate everyone. No that came as the boys grew in their understanding And hid them away in the blanket box on the landing. By now though our boys are well rounded men When road kill is on the road they won’t look at them They are sissy’s with blood of any and all kind They know the difference in a game and real human kind. They have mastered parts of foreign languages By playing on line with all races and ages. Their knowledge is far more than they learnt in school So I am not so afraid now of technologies new tools © ~GG~ 28/09/2012

Mandy Golden Girl~ You wrote of a theme dear to my heart...the positive aspects of video games...the youngest judge who is a teenager related to the last stanza the most...he said that his most enjoyable learning came from a similar scenario! A baby sitter for some parents,...but a learning tool for others...environment is everything, right?...congrats lady! :) gwendolen
