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regular trips to Mars Really kinda happy I won't be around My old fashioned brain might explode Pretty damn sure my out of date cranium Eventually will read “overload” © Jack Ellison 2015<>

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!
