In Lane

Way back when, I learned to read
And I was super proud, indeed,
When, with my new-expanded brain,
I read the road sign, “Stay in lane.”

Of course, I didn’t get that sign.
I thought it should say, “Stay in line.”
My dad, the driver, set me straight,
An easy fix to navigate.

My reading’s helped me all these years,
But not so much when switching gears,
For in this world of tech galore,
I’m not as smart as once before.

There’s much I do not understand
And language not at my command,
So I am stymied when I try – 
My reading skills do not apply.

I guess that long-ago advice
That I first read must now suffice,
For with computers, it is plain
That I have ventured past my lane.
