Technology

An app for this

An app for that

An app even,

To feed your cat.

 

Mesmerised by mobiles

All these zombies shuffle along

Nearly getting run over

So internet throng.

 

Scanning with their debit cards

No time for cash

But I don’t trust these things

With their laser flash.

 

All this social media

Where is it going?

So much information

Toing and froing.

 

Good to keep in touch

And so easy to Google

Want to make a noise?

It’s better than a bugle.

 

Better check in on Facebook

So you all know where I am

Time to check my emails

To bin the latest scam.

 

But whatever happened to talking?

It’s now a forgotten art!

The cyber revolution:

This is just the start.

Nature

Succulent, seductive floral displays please my senses no end.

Spring is here!

Promise of countless flowers

As Summer surrounds us with scorching sun.

Before long those Daffodil buds will trumpet out

And cherry blossoms will brighten each lengthening day.

 

Birdsong serenades us

In a twittering chorus.

Nature’s Jazz wakes me up

With every blushing dawn.

 

We live in Paradise

Yet keep our senses closed.

Immersed in mobiles and social media

The wealth of nature is ignored.

 

So open your eyes and listen with those ears.

Stop bombing neighbours

And robbing the poor.

Love Life

Embrace Mother Nature

And make the most

Of what Providence has provided

For us all.
