Jack Ellison Poet Narrative

My Old Fashioned Brain Might Explode

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 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Pretty damn sure my out of date cranium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”

Carol Eastman February 21, 2015 at 11:24 AM Oh! Now you've done it! Dragon wants to fly to Mars! Seems like just last week, he wanted to fly me to the moon, and leave me there! Sigh! Oh it was! All because I called him Silly Dragon when he stomped on my toes. In my defense, We WERE all getting cabin fever. Besides I always call him that. He usually loves it. As it gives him a chance to chase me around the lake. Guess he didn't like his snow shoes. Can't imagine why? It got him outside, Kinda... Until his first step landed him on his face! Jack Ellison February 21, 2015 at 11:27 AM You sure live an interesting life, dear Carol! LOL xxxxx Carol Eastman February 21, 2015 at 11:25 AM And you think you've got OVERLOAD! Just try raising a Dragon... LOL
