The High Tech Question



I’ve Blogged and Facebooked, I’ve been Twittered and Skyped

And that business with Myspace was just so much hype

I’ve Googled and Yahoo’d and seen much multi-media

And there’s nothing I can’t find with that old Wikipedia

With music and video my hard drives are encoded

As well as software and pictures and other crap I’ve downloaded

Technology’s great but I miss things gone away

Like old neighborhoods, friends and my 401K

No more hanging on corners or dips under the plug

No more am I referred to as a punk or a thug

Now I’m left to wonder if my open mind’s intact

When I hear myself bitch about the way young folks act

These high tech marvels are they bad or OK?

Do they bring us together or do they push us away

So I’ll close the laptop and wonder and shut down the PC

I’m goin’ downstairs to play a game on the Wii

Now that's a poem worthy of the Bard. I couldn't agree more.
Have at it.

Thanks Unka Jim. Just the other day a barman reffered to me as the Bard. Or so I thought. What he actually said was "you are barred and if you don't get out of here right now I'm gonna' throw you out". What'a ya gonna' do?

something like that would have been worthy of the dance show ad for Bailey
