Pc Generation

With our new PC GENERATION Texting seems a total obsession Our heads bowed down on tiny screens Writing confessions that everyone sees Letters used to arrive from friends Right through my front door Now ure lucky to get a text It's not the same our world no more People seem so obsessed With that big Cloud in the sky We must all look so comical Head stuck in WIFI Seems such a shame Advancement has cost so much No one has the time To stay in proper touch Just a word of warning Make sure you pay ure bill Or you will have no phone To text Facebook at your Will

Oh I've tried to avoid getting lost so far...but we have to keep up as parents as our kids would find us so backward! :D Anyway so good when writing poetry, nobody disturbs me as they are all engrossed with their screens in some corner! Great idea for a poem my dear. :)

Everyone - including me has become addicted to the "net". You show clearly what has happened in recent years in this fine work. Peace & Love Matthew Anish

Great description of the generation of bowed heads - and not in prayer. Funny and sad at the same time.

this is REALLY good humor, Gail. I love it. So very very true. I wrote a similar one in the spring. about cell phones. I think it was called And Nothing else matters. It's a sad thing what is happening to our world in that sense. SEVEN
