the new age

THE NEW AGE

By my hair I am being dragged into the “new age”!

For all these years I did not miss it, did not want to be a sage.

But, nothing ever stands still in our world, always a new notion

Thus, an all new sense of communication comes into motion.

A whole new language has developed, words never known before:

If you are of a venerable age, you really dread what is in store.

They call it “computerization”, that’s how they communicate-

For me, to master new technicalities, I feel it is too late.

Now I am told on it to preserve my poems of posterity-

Let me just say this taxes my old brain with severity.

It did not take me long to master my “copier” – it was easy,

Now the thought of storing my work on a computer makes me queasy.

They say, you have to go with the times or you will get musty,

If you don’t keep up with the new gadgets you will get rusty.

So, there you have it: always something new to learn and master:

It ain’t easy- but experimenting with it makes the time go faster.
