Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Whatta Bozo

When it comes to modern technology
The word “bozo” suits me to a “T”
I quiver and shake and tremble all over
When my computer asks questions of me!

Think to myself “If you're so damn smart
Why are you asking this old guy?
I'm back in the days of peck-peck-peck
On my typewriter listening to hi-fi!”

I'm at an age when the brain doesn't work
The way it did way back when
Wait a minute, I'm not sure this old brain
Was that brilliant even back then!

Some of us guys were born to be techies
I'm just happy being real simple
Totally content in my own little world
All the girls just love my dimples!

I may be a bozo but I'm a happy bozo
Not familiar with that techie talk
Made it this far without hurting my brain
Technology's a total crock!

Wayland Bunch February 24, 2013 at 3:49 AM You have a brain where age doesn't matter. Your wit and humor, to me would appeal to a variety of audiences. I myself have my pen, and notebooks, journals, and whatever else they made, "especially for writing" lol, but it's so much easier on the computer, even on the phone. Great work again Jack. Jack Ellison February 24, 2013 at 6:59 AM For my remaining years, however many they are, I will continue having a ball and pass on with a great big grin on my face! LOL

Audrey Haick February 20, 2013 at 12:30 PM LOL!!!! I just love this. You're not the only Bozo, Jack! We're too many to count! Hope you're doing well. Annalise Jack Ellison February 20, 2013 at 3:38 PM Tried to keep up for a while but finally gave up! LOL Big hugs, my dear Annalise, Jack xox

Andrea Dietrich February 18, 2013 at 10:11 PM I'm SO WITH YOU on this one!! I guess that makes me a Bozette!!! Love this. Jack Ellison February 19, 2013 at 4:55 AM Funny! That's what my wife Cathie calls herself "bozo-ette" sometimes if she spills something in the kitchen but I have other names for her! LOL Glad you could identify with it but I'm not as computer illiterate as I make out to be! Hugs, Jack xoxox

John Loving Iii February 18, 2013 at 2:35 PM Very well writen. I loved the humor. Jack Ellison February 18, 2013 at 3:50 PM Had fun with it as I do with the most of the stuff I write! Glad you enjoyed it my friend!

Carol Eastman February 18, 2013 at 8:56 AM Don't worry... Call in my Techno Trolls! They can solve any problem... or at least make it go away! LOL...Love... Your friends Mike and Carol. Jack Ellison February 18, 2013 at 11:15 AM They probably help you out free of charge eh but what about me? Would I have to pay for their flight to Canada? Big hugs to you... a manly handshake for Mike... Cathie's a hugger so she would definitely hug both of you!

Toquyen Harrell February 18, 2013 at 6:38 AM Lol. You're on to it, aren't you? You are on the Internet surfing... You love it, Jack! Are you glad that we live in this computer age and can communicate instantly? Great write :) Jack Ellison February 18, 2013 at 11:12 AM It's opened up a whole new world! You're right, we would never have met, otherwise. Remember the dark ages... LOL!

Demetrios Trifiatis February 18, 2013 at 6:09 AM My dear Jack, This world was made possible by guys like you!To be technophobic in no way means you cannot be euphoric! If you brain doesn’t understand technology you might try another field named theology. Another good one Jack ! Thank you! Excellent! Jack Ellison February 18, 2013 at 11:10 AM I actually am more into technology than this poem suggests. And if I do have a problem I can't solve, I have a techie son who always has the answer! Yee haw!
