Ellen Gwaltney Bales Poet Free verse

A Real Technology Expert

I am not technically challenged
I am merely being tested
Well, that’s my story anyway
There are those who would beg to differ
So let them
Who cares?
I may not know all there is to know
About computers
About streaming
About smart phones
Who says they’re so smart?
They don’t impress me much
I once threatened 
To throw mine in the river
For being so stupid
Damn Android
More like hemorrhoid
If you ask me
Meaning pain in the you know what
Give me back my Princess model
Preferably in pink or turquoise
And with a rotary dial
I bet I can get one on Amazon

Daniel Turner February 27, 2023 at 7:03 AM This made me laugh, Ellen. I do not even own a cell phone and have no intention of doing so. I am like you. Why did we have to change? There was nothing wrong with the old way. We even had pay phones but now, NOooo!
