Come 2035 and you will hear
Grandma and Grandpa in their tubular porch swing,
“Remember Iphones and lap top computers?
And telephones that vibrated and didn’t ring.

Invisible lasers are so sublime,
Turn them off or...

Do you think its disrespectful to curse
on the same lines as the word God
even unaware rambling through society

Cause beads to form on his head
