Digital Diet

There’s digital this
And digital that
But most is too much
For me to grab at
I thank the Almighty
That as far as I know
No one can grow
Digital coffee.

But this thought 
Of digital drink
Makes the real mind
Pause and think
I’ll pass on that scheme
And I would never 
Buy their new clever
Gigabyte ice cream

Gigabyte ice cream
Of course is a thing
A microscopic
Dippin Dots’ offspring
But what is the point
To ingest that stuff
I’m unplugging my life
Coz enough is enough

Unplugging your life. Good idea for at least a few hours a day or a couple of days a week or even a week's vacation. Could we survive? Thanks for sharing this one today and for dropping by my page. Saw a sign that said, " I was out of coffee this morning, so I had tequila. Everyone is so pretty." Sara

Microscopic Dippin Dots. I've noticed that even in poetry, poems are getting shorter and shorter as we succumb to digital influence. I often wonder if someday, everything will be just one letter long. Nice one David.

I'm too old to have to learn all this digital stuff! Sometimes I think I was born in the wrong century! Gigabyte ice cream does not sound very tasty. Great write, David! Blessings, Kim M
