TECHNO-MADNESS <\/p>\n

by Bill Kochman<\/p>\n

12-08-2016<\/p>\n

We now live in a world of modern tech,
\nOur ancestors would no doubt be amazed,
\nBut I must express some level of concern,
\nWhen folks stand in line all night so dazed.<\/p>\n

Yes, everyone wants to be the very first,
\nTo show off their newest electronic toy,
\nThey have so obviously taken the bait,
\nOf a company with some advertising ploy.<\/p>\n

There is nothing wrong with using tech,
\nIf it really helps us to get the job done,
\nBut let’s be sure not to lose ourselves,
\nIn the midst of having all of this fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
