Luddite Lesson: Luddites Poetry

 

 

Luddites poetry? I must admit,

don't know who picked the theme.
Wasn't sure I could commit,
just spelling it makes me scream. 

But quitter's not a name for me,

I'll try, no guarantee.

I mean, how hard can it really be?

Guess we're about to see.

Luddite Lesson 

 

Luddites are a dinosaur,

living in the past.

but progress makes things easier,

possibilities are vast.

How I love my TV shows,

keep me well amused.

Understanding of investigations grows,

love guessing who'll be accused.

Kindle lets me borrow books,

and never leave my home.
Choose from bedroom's cozy nook,
have my choice of any tome.

The information highway is,

right there at our fingertips.
Any subject, you can be a whiz,
even take virtual trips.

These days we get to see,
how childhood friends are now.
Social media is the key,
never again lose touch we vow.

Cell phones are the saving grace,
of every single mother.
Any time and any place, 
our kids we get to smother.

YouTube channels, they are shows!

Learn to fix, craft and cook.

Everyone shares what he knows,

all you have to do is look.

Peanut Butter Pepita Muffins

But:

Comprehension seems to have slumped,
in my golden years, Luddite.
Newfangled stuff has got me stumped,
second thought, you may be right.
