Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

The Coolest Invention

For those of us whose lives are nearly complete
  Who can recall life before computer spreadsheets
I'd like to point out a most marvelous technical feat
  Which is, of course, the cool little button called 'Delete'

Remember those garish, round pink erasers with green brushes below
  That would smudge or tear your paper so into the trash it would go
And then when that 'miracle-liquid' 'White-out' came along
  It would turn your paper into gooey gook if you got anything wrong...

But now thanks to 'Delete,' it's almost fun to make a mistake
  Just press a button and it's gone; it's like having and eating your cake
So, to whomever's responsible for the 'Delete Button Revolution'
  Perhaps you'll put your mind to COVID and come up with a solution
