Learn the rules of a new game
explore a hidden dirt path
taste the pop up menu
try that seemingly odd match
share your unwavering opinions
let dreams drip onto your hands
work
fight
no back up plan.
That’s how to change reality in an instant.
Travel day is what’s on tap
Two-year-old is in my lap
Doesn't seem that far to go
Just six inches on the map
Flying tantrums, status quo?
Not for parents in the know
Benadryl - voila! a nap
This ain’t my first rodeo…

(no children or grandchildren were drugged in the making of this poem :-)
unpick the stitches
unravel the elements
unfasten rewind
Did God install a back-up switch,
In case of devastating glitch!
To one’s soul, like memory stick,
When the mind turns off in click,
With Alzheimer’s or just old age,
In times the brain fails to engage;
And when the end does come at last,
Does some reboot reclaim the past?
And send the soul on its last flight,
With all memories then made right?
[If we are not our memories, then what are we? What goes on in the soul, that will make sure one connects with loved ones in the afterlife? Alzheimer's is a cruel disease.]
I am tired of saying it!
Never ever delete unbackups doc
As in a nano you have deleted them,
You should have done more than a backup
In a nano too.
So backup and save or
Leave them alone! In their place.
I remember after about 1990,
i was using a computer xt type, speed 1o megahertz,
screen used to burn me eyes, so i used dark glasses,
i had just put some story on the hard drive and it died,
leaving me stranded with no back up of a few hours of work...
always make a back up hey....Don
ps..S C B love the flow an rhyme of this poem..."Bumpy Cyber Space" Carol Brown
