Modern Times

The computer world to me is arcane

However, at my age, am I to blame?

I spent many hours learning shorthand and and typing

But now it is useless, everyone’s Skyping!

Penmanship was important, graded as such

Now everyone just texts, real words not so much

All the shortcuts and acronyms reign

Emojis giving inferences insane

I think I’m just an old sister

Who prefers an old fashioned vista.

Eugi’s Weekly Prompt – Mighty

King Kong, Mighty Joe Young

Old time movies sung their song

Giant beasts fighting for their lives

In our cities, trying to survive.

It’s not so different now, as we all

Wish we would receive the call

That all is well, the virus gone,

Protests end and we all get along.

A mighty dream you say, will never occur

But might will win and end with churr.

FFFC#72

***

I travel here, alone, seeking wisdom, solace from the present world. I see the light beyond, but it doesn’t touch me here. If I bow to this columned strength, will you help? If I beg and plead will you right these wrongs? I have exhausted my prayers, spent my dreams, even coddled the oppressors, but to no end, and yet, I once again implore–end this strife.

MLMM Wordle – Isolation

In my intuitive world, I regress in an autonomous environment, alone, with no great thoughts of how to be. I cannot shine without the whole-ness of world surrounds.

I need the free, wild curve of others in actions and commiseration. I am only a lone satellite in darkness without their presence.

Monday Movie

John Candy and Dan Ackroyd, a favorite comedy duo, made “The Great Outdoors” movie in 1988. I miss seeing them and sadly, John Candy passed away in 1994. They made many comedy films together and I enjoyed them all. My favorite scene is John being chased by a bear, but my advice is watch the movie and decide for yourself.

Sunday dinner

My open burrito/tostada/pizza/ meal today. Unshown lettuce tomato salad. I used small skinny flour tortillas and my burrito mix inside, topped too generously with cheese. Burrito mix is refried beans, salsa, shredded cheese, and finely chopped onions.
