Applying for a Visa
Watch two older people
Struggle with technology
When applying for a visa -
Yes, I mean my spouse and me.
You will laugh at their ineptitude
When working on the app
As they try to scan a passport page
And each repeated tap
Is rejected, so they try once more
To find the blasted chip,
Wond’ring if it’s really worth it
To be going on this trip.
If you stick around, you’ll get to see
When they are almost done,
That a message will pop up to say,
As if it’s all been fun,
That there seems to be a problem
So they’ll have to start again.
An emoji for frustration
Might describe what happens then.
Yet, despite their stress, they manage,
Only screaming just a bit,
To complete the forms requested
And successfully submit.
