My Old Fashioned Brain

Hard to tell with the movies these days What's real and really what's not It's totally amazing what they now can do Yesteryear it was always the plot For old guys like me it's hard keeping up Changes are happening so rapidly Thankfully though, my guru-like son Helps me and quite happily My brain's used to suck up new information With the power of a Hoover vacuum Now I need strength and intestinal fortitude Just for my trips to the bathroom Where is it leading, technology I mean Electricity will be driving our cars Gasoline will soon be a thing of the past We'll make regular trips to Mars Really kinda happy I won't be around My old fashioned brain might explode Pretty damn sure my out of date cranium Eventually will read “overload”

Haha! I am in my 60's and I know what you mean! I can barely imagine what my children and grandchildren will see in terms of technological developments. I agree, I think my brain would be on overload! Enjoyed your piece.

Oh, how I can relate to this one, Jack. Sometimes I think I'm walking on a bridge too far...to far from reality!
