L Milton Hankins Poet Rhyme

Observation On Playing Games

I can remember a time not so long ago
When children whooped it up most all day
Playing outdoor games with made-up names
And caring little for come what may
But now, they spend countless hours
Manipulating hand-held electronic gadgets
And have absolutely nothing to say.

Gershon Wolf June 17, 2021 at 6:14 PM Ooh. That last line is penned with your sharpest sword, Milt. And it cuts right to the chase, I must say. ~ gw L Milton Hankins June 17, 2021 at 6:48 PM Yep, it is true, you know. You can't get a word out of these kids edgewise. They are too busy talking with their thumbs!
