Vive la Vie…!

(Live the Life…!)

 

Vive la Vie my friend!

Digital age to the end!


My eyes are really tired, sore and straining

Would it have more kudos if I were “Nintendo” brain training?

Maybe I should get myself really “Wii” fit

Or is there a “Playstation” body detox kit?

 

 

All this computerisation has many plus sides

But the stresses and strains I cannot hide

Repetitive stress injuries to my wrists

I’ll pen that on “Facebook” – Yes! With a twist

 

 

Vive la Vie my friend!

Digital age to the end!

 

 

Maybe I should SMS all my friends

Or twitter in a chat room that never ends

Maybe Sky has back-to-back movies that are exciting

Actually, a walk outside sounds much more enticing

 

 

Fresh air to fill my lungs and a DSLR to capture the essence

Can’t wait to get my “Apple” loaded with my digital presence

Then I’ll use Photoshop to place me in France

And Illustrator to artistically and subtly enhance

 

 

So what am I worried about with all my aches and pains?

It could be worse I could have to commute daily by train

When all is said and done, typed, spell checked and saved

I’ll be able to savour my dinner that has been gourmet micro waved!!

It is definately amazing when we stop and take the time to look at how far technology has advanced us in this brave new computer world we live in...some of it is good but like the poem demonstrates none of it can still take the place of the beauty of a simple walk on a summer night.

Hi Andrea, And what a life to life, huh? You write the technology that we live today. It's funny how the younger generation is so addicted to this technology, born and raised in it, become like second nature, and the older generation, well.. like Kate said... we just want to talk... :} this write is a great example.. thank you for sharing...

In Spirit,
Bear

There. That's what I remember of that French song and I do know the tune. I appreciate your apt and timely wit and humor in this poem. Thanks for sharing. Love and best wishes to you, Andrea,

Great to meet you, Andrea! Being somewhat of a fellow humorist, I love the lighthearted look at what is, to an old fuddy-duddy like me, a very taxing, brave new world! With all that is going on around me, I have to confess to a chosen ignorance and a very great lack of courage, prefering to bury my head in the sand... literally, like Ed K, methinks! Just looking at what cell phones do these days does my head in... I just want to talk! :)) Impressed by your proficient use of jargon here. As Jude say, poetic gigabites abound in this techno pot-pourri. Thanks for stopping by! Kate xx
