What An Easy Life We Lead

Remember the days before computers Seems like they've been around forever Life was simpler or that's how it seemed Methinks today's much simpler however Hard to recall the big hassle it was Making a simple deposit at the bank Had to get there before closing at three Banker's hours were short to be frank What about shopping at the grocery store Needed cash or you were poop outta luck Unless you saw a friend and asked for a loan And he forks over a couple of bucks Now you can order movie tickets online Is there anything more convenient than that No more standing in a long line in the cold Bundled up in a coat, scarf and a hat We can even file our tax returns online We don't even need to mail them anymore No, today is a very much simpler life We can now take daily naps and snore © Jack Ellison 2014

AHHH! But everything costs more. You have to work longer hours to pay for all the frills we've become accustomed to... like air conditioning... and fancy phones. And nothing is simple to do... with the government making more hoops to jump thru... But am content with my lot in life. It's way more cumphy. Don't have to hunt, and kill my supper before eating it... Dragon doesn't understand all this... He's from the now era... ERR... Me era! LOL A bit spoiled. He even has his own penquins. Really!

I wish I could take daily naps and snore, but alas work calls and I must go there else my wife would be quite mad because I would lose my job...and for what, a nap? I agree with you my friend, life is simpler than when I was a child, though people always say that those were simpler times! This is a brilliant write my friend! I simply loved reading this enlightening poem this evening! What a grandiose piece, Great Work!!
