Modern Family Life
Modern Family Life
By Elton Camp
Families sat and talked in days of yore
But a great many don’t do that anymore
Oh, they may be present in the same room
Flickering screens lighting up the gloom
Some on the television set so intent
Others on laptops their time is spent
Thumbs on keyboards will play
As text message are sent away
And status on Facebook updated
Others’ inane posts eagerly awaited
If the Internet signal should die,
Family talk they still wouldn’t try
Rather, this is what they will do
“Restart the router” is the hew
