Today’spoem

I used to be a Sixties girl, Well up with gramophones, My vinyl records were ‘just fab’, I loved The Rolling Stones. I had a tape recorder and, Recorded the Top 20, I felt I was a trendy lass, My techno knowledge — plenty. Now that, alas, is sadly past, Technology keeps changing, And I am travelling far behind. I find it quite deranging. With Facebook, iPads, apps and tweets, All constantly renewing, I sigh for long-lost simpler times, When I knew what I was doing.
