[hometext] => Heres to progress, and its wake
[bodytext] => Have you noticed here and there all the stuff that disappears? What for instance now embraced; Has, or soon will be erased? Travel agents used to be; Until Travelocity; What good will a wrist watch do; If cellphones keep the time for you? Paper road maps, once were prized; Til GPS’d and miniaturized. Pedias sold door-to-door; Have no salesmen anymore. Britannicas gone media; From books to Wikopedia! Not even Polaroid could save; Camera film its early grave; Now they sell bouquets and such; At former drive-thru film drop huts! When CRT went LCD, so did lightbulbs, yessiree; Incandescent and florescent; Turned into a poor investment! Paper mail is fading fast; How long can the mailman last? Won’t your grandkids get a kick; To see a stamp you had to lick? Bookstores aren’t far behind; Will libraries be next in line? Amazon and ebooks too; Save our trees, and speak to you! What was once our Home Sweet Home; A sanctuary all our own; Met at last a wireless ending; Work and homelife now are blending. Smartphones, laptops stretch the reach; We can’t go home without our leash. Wireless phones have come around; Poles and landlines coming down. Will we recall when it expires; The sight of birds along the wires? Craigslist, Angies list and such; Ground the classifieds to dust; Newspapers will soon be gone; The ones who warned us all along! Great inventions we embrace; Vanish all without a trace; Every age enjoys its wonders; Til the next one plows them under! Welcome progress as it brings; Ever modern offerings! Let us put the past to rest; (and do try hard to look impressed).

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
