Communication

For seventy or more years TV

And radio ruled the world,

Along with telephones.

But then computers made their mark,

Soon followed by mobiles, Smartphones,

Ipads, Bluetooth, Wifi and who knows what?

In no particular order.

So herds of sheep migrated

Into Cyberspace

Even Myspace!

Then on to Planet Facebook

And Terratwitter.

We talk with people we’ve never met,

And meet folk with whom we’ve never talked.

It keeps us occupied I guess,

And gives relief from stress.

These images that yet fresh images beget,

I’m sure Yeats would agree.

I tolerate these adverts flashing in my face

And soak up knowledge to my solid mental grace.

A world of wonders beckons in

The depths of Cyberspace,

And as a Nerd before they were invented,

I have to say I’ve truly found my place.
