Out of this turnip?
Only so much income
Inflation . . . Inflating
I'm old enough to remember
25 cents a gallon
Gasoline!!
Difference was
That quarter was made
Of silver . . .
Scarey when you think
About it
Now it's all bits
And bites
In an electronic
Brain somewhere
Science fiction---
Back when I
Was reading
Science fiction -
And what happens when
The sun spot comes
And wipes away all
Traces of numbers from
The giant inter-web-net
Brain ?
What if it gets
A headache ?
Is there an excedrin
Large enough
An asprin for that ?
"Take two
And call me in the
Morning"
Doctors used to say
It's inevitable that someday
Something will disrupt
It's concentration
Computers. . .
I don't really trust such
Complicated things
And what about when
They begin
To talk to
Each other
Where will we be
Then?
If only I could add
A few more zeros
To the account
Zeros being worth nothing
But turning 1000
Into 10000
Into 100,000
One could dream of
Having a checking account
Like that.
