Best Technical Poems

I've never twitted on Tweeter
nor am I an Instagrammarian
I've searched on Goggle
but cannot find MyFace on the interweb
I ask "how do I find the North Star?"
and get 4,460,000,000 hits, mostly ads
for an ice cream bar called "The Big Dipper"
so I go make some toast and...

We live in an age of technical wizardry
Like it or not we must master these mysteries
It's a strain on our brain
Often utter words profane
Pretty sure my brain has sustained a serious injury

How could I survive without a computer, only heaven knows!
'Tis a necessary tool for my poetical verse to compose.
Today, the beast went down again, wouldn't you know it,
Just as I received a brilliant revelation so vital to a poet!

My technical aptitude is meager but I...

Nothing further can be said. 
No more shall now be spoken

from dispassion's distant bed. 
Nothing further can be said, 

as such deals are, by the dead, 
struck mute. So even broken, 

nothing further can be said. 
No more shall now be spoken....

stroke, roll,
stroke, roll,
breath

climbing along the water's surface,
body turning on a skewer,
breathing bubbles,
exhaling fully,
metronomic to a viewer

stroke, roll,
stroke, roll,
breath

fingertips, wrist and elbow angled
each below the other in turn
break the surface
then pushing forward
spinning the torso in return

stroke, roll,
stroke, roll,
breath

catch before the full arm extension
pulling along the "railway...

To me there is not justice in this world,
and no God awaiting us either.
So who, therefore, could freely harm an innocent soul,
and then each night sleep in peace for ever after?

For though many things that a man has done,
may well lie dormant through the passing...

If you fly with an African airline, start praying
This is a true story, you will know what I’m saying
It happened in Kenya in the town Kisumu
Forty-four passengers in a plane with nothing to do

Just when the pilot got the all clear to fly
The passengers hear...

Regarding yours truly
he experienced setback
amplified by Luddite propensity
nostalgic longing for simpler age

excellent linkedin access
whereby augmented

A technical failure
Your plan backfired
And so did you
But I still swell strength
My life hasn’t given up on me
Although sometimes
I wish that it would...

We walk 
And Talk
And walk a block

AHHH! A ROCK!
What a shock!

I trip and my phone flies up like a airplane
And the phone cries,"Oh no! This is not a good game!"

It dives down to the ground
It surely dies!

"I'm okay!" The phone celebrates....

The phones are dead all around
sitting here without a light
I don't have any dial tone
nothing to do, except write
I get paid to sit and wait
collecting not a penny
technical difficulties...

You give me inspiration
like no other
An electronic that I fear
could yet be my best connection ever
I'll take it slow
so I don't blow my cover...

The worldwide media's fake news 
Is badly made to abuse, 
Trying its trick to confuse....

Technical expertise
Developed running feet
'It's that technical,' I muttered
Pass the tech-bites spread the butter
Blinded lights under cover
Quiet support, LabQuest voice
TECHNICAL SUPPORT
My electronics, I could not awaken
I crave the calculating, 
Competent competence
My electronics, I could not awaken
Much I marveled the technical expertise
that splendid, splendid computing
Pass the tech-bites...
