Jack Ellison Poet Rhyme

A New Age Kerfuffle

Addicted to modern technology you say?
Nah, I could live without my Mac
Well, at least for maybe an hour or so
Before a withdrawal attack

First thing in the morning you'll find me here
Surfing and learning new things
Opening up and exploring new horizons
An amazing experience it brings

Text books and encyclopedias used to do it
The source for all my new learning
Today they've become much less important
The tide is definitely turning

Farewell to novels you held in your hand
Sadly they're becoming obsolete
No more sitting and reading by the seaside
With waves lapping at your feet

So say goodbye to how life used to be
Must adapt or get lost in the shuffle
Open your computer and start surfing away
Or wind up in a new age kerfuffle!

L Milton Hankins January 17, 2022 at 12:33 PM So well-thought-out and extremely well-written, Jack. I couldn't agree more. And, as time passes and I grow older, it seems more and more (almost daily) I am separated from my old way of life! Jack Ellison January 17, 2022 at 12:51 PM We must adapt Mr. Hankins as difficult as it seems! Hang in there buddy the world is still the best place to live!!! YEE HAW LOL

Ronald D Thompson January 17, 2022 at 12:05 PM Still trying to hold on, for dear life, where I can, to the way things used to be Jack. Still prefer to read a hard back books, still sit down at meal times and talk (even if it is only to the missus), still listen to music albums on vinyl or CD. However, I must admit, I do like my Mac!! Great poem...Ron Jack Ellison January 17, 2022 at 12:29 PM My youngest son talked me into my first Mac back in the middle 80s! Never looked back!!! Did we get a snow storm today????????

Tom Cunningham January 17, 2022 at 7:13 AM Progress they call it, people would rather live their lives on Facebook and the like and avoid human interaction. Go to any restaurant and nobody's talking, all staring at their phones. Tom Jack Ellison January 17, 2022 at 9:46 AM Bang on!
