Jack Ellison Poet Rhyme

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Pretty damn sure my out of date cranium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”

John Lawless May 10, 2022 at 5:33 AM Jack, I'd be as smart as them if I could just remember where I left the i-phone Jack Ellison May 10, 2022 at 5:57 AM Remember the cradle phone and we used to actually stumbled over things to reach it in time!
