Hi Bob, I missed this, so sorry, Funny, how the world, to me, seemed saner, well before technology. Perhaps I am wrong? Or too old, and steeped in traditional values? Santa does not know dancers are graceful and powerful. Grand limerick, Bob, Christmas hugs, Pangie

You know Bob, I think people are sucked into technology.like GPS….but they have no problem, dismissing GOD at all. The 10 commandments?Many think are a fairy tale. They seem to think that the greening of the planet and windmills wii ll save our souls and the planet! And now..comes chips to be implanted in our brains to control us. By mandate? You know the Bible, and you know what that means! PS, thank you fro the wishes foe Elena and Irene. Hug Jeff for me! PR

Thank you, Pangie. I get along without some of these new-fangled gadgets, especially the GPS. A Merry Christmas Season to you, Maria and Irene! Bob H

What did we all do before the GPS before the cell phone, before computers and emails, The GPS is giving us memory lapses as we get in the car hit the address of our destination and let it find it's own - way for us - where will the world be 100 years from now, we won't be around, but guess if we were allowed to visit Earth we wouldn't recognize it. Great Limerick Robert, Hugs blessings, Jennifer.

You are right, Jenn - what would we do without them. I remember the days of the old on the wall crank phone! (I guess I'm revealing my age - ha) Enjoyed your comments - Bob

Thanks, Gershon. Dear old Rudy may find himself out of a job with that new-fangled gadget available to Santa! Happy Hanukkah to you and your family - Bob H

Robert, I don't know what we did before GPS came along. But I still like to tie a long rope behind me to find the way home. -Richard

Great Idea, Richard. I'd rather rely on the rope vis a vis GPS which I know zilch about! Thanks for your witty comment and best to you as you continue your poetical journey - Bob H
