Technology Baffles Me

All these gadgets and gizmos
And new-fangled dilly-bobs
That only a ten-year-old
Can understand,
They hex me and vex me
Beyond all distraction,
Leaving me mixed in a
Pit of quicksand.

I read the instructions,
All detailed in language that’s
Totally foreign to my generation,
All wrapped in enigma,
Impossible babble that
Stretches my brain
Beyond imagination.

I guess that I shouldn’t feel
Such consternation.
The answers are there
Buried deep in debris, but I
In frustration 
Throw hands in the air.
This new technology baffles me.
