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.
