CATCHING UP WITH THE PAST
Somewhere along the way,
Technology passed me by.
I still use a landline phone,
To make calls and say “Hi.”
I still write letters and checks.
I still use a VCR.
I still use a key,
To unlock my car.
Every remote control I own,
Has buttons that never get used.
All I need are power, channel and volume.
The rest just leave me confused.
It’s a digital world,
And I’m an analog man,
I’m meant to live,
In a less technological land.
I’m running about 20 years behind,
And it seems the die is cast.
I’m doomed to spend the rest of my life,
Catching up with the past.

To start our cars we use a car key. Not true with many others.
The new Fords scare me to death. I rented one and to gas it up you have to lean forward and press the nozzle in. This car will not go forward unless you mess with the dash and press buttons that seem so awkward.
Give me back my old Chevy Nova. It was sporty, good on gas and behaved like it ought-ta!
Amen, my friend.

If my desktop phone goes the way of the rotary phone and public phone, I will be in deep shit. But I'm not contemplating it just yet, going to bed with the flow.
