            \n        Computer Blues<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I maintain my membership in the elite club.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A pre computer person in a post computer age.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My kids feel I am as dumb as a bug in a rug.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the old hand calculator, I made good grades.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being a computer wiz is mighty fine.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One can do amazing things these days.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, the skills it takes just are not mine.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I just sit here in a comatose daze.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kids serve a need. They help when I\u2019m stuck.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

They zip along like there was no problem.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for me, I am stuck in a rut.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no way that I can solve them.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet, my elite membership is secure.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many other seniors are members too.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Somehow, we still are able to endure.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your old, you may be a member too.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
