Firstly don’t forget that pin,

That would be the ultimate sin,

30 odd years ago, who would know,

That now we have a love/hate relationship,

With a box of circuits & memory,

If that little box you are reading this from,

Could feed our libido & our stomachs,

Would we be so fast to go out into the world at large,

Instead to stay at home and live on our barge,

Never to have to answer to anyone higher than a sarge,

To be totally separate from the world & other humans,

To live for this moment, till our computer does break,

Then & only then learning how to with others copulate,

No need for a better half, no need for any other mate,

To enjoy self reliance, not to worry about a future fate,

I don’t know, but did I write this for myself too late,

At the moment, I think to live with just this little box would be great,

Have foodstuffs delivered, and fuel to keep with warm,

To only go outside for the essential bit of exercise,

To keep us alive for a longer period of time,

Instead to be writing some little rhyme,

To stay permanently on-line…
