Another Modern Age

This is another modern age, the one others will dream about; a free spirit out of a cage, a balladeer creating art. Many ages ago they used plain paper and ink, I use a keyboard and a computer at all times; it's a powerful hardware that makes me occasionally blink... then it's time for me to go to bed and wait for surprises. Pens, pencils, pads and note books now are things of the past, what if a power loss occurred and the screen went blank, who could recover any work...wouldn't some beat on their chest? Get used to saving your work, be diligent and don't strain your shank. This is another modern age that will flourish as fragrant lime, and to lead one must be determined, motivated and accurate: counting syllables, checking iambic meter, stress and rhyme... and the author will have a chance to become a Poet Laureate.
