Technology Has Passed Gramps By

By Elton Camp

For Gramps to the Electronic Age to relate
Developments came several years too late

A pocket calculator was the last he used
Later developments, to learn, he refused

Lately, the old codger has been known
To try to work the TV with a cell phone

A text message he never has sent
Nor any time on a computer spent

Yet, he heard so much about Internet
Down to a box with buttons he sat

About the Internet he began to rave
His wife said, “That’s the microwave!”

How true! At that age, I was playing in the dirt.
