Poem – Rethinking Things (By Gil Hoy)

Rethinking Things – By Gil Hoy

I should have married                                                                              a computer with                                                                                       high-speed internet

at an early age.

I wouldn’t have needed                                                                           so much school.

Just search for                                                                                “Most useful info”

and read on                                                                                            for four years.

Grad school?

Just search:                                                                                       “Most useful                                                                                       info—advanced.”

It’s all there.

If Bill Gates had                                                                              thought of this,

he could really truly                                                                                    have made a killing!

No need to travel either—

Just type                                                                                          “Top 10 world destinations”                                                                  and read on.

Only interested                                                                                           in the US?

Search “Top 10                                                                       Destinations in America.”

On a budget:                                                                                        “Top ten cheap vacation spots.”

If necessary, map quest can                                                                       get you where you want to go.

Big downside though:                                                                           No Sex and No Kids.

Wait—                                                                                                   for the former:                                                                                 “Most arousing fantasies.”

Kids? Take a look at:                                                                        “What do people do without kids?”

If George Washington                                                                           had followed this advice,

he would have lived                                                                                  a lot longer,

probably no                                                                                      wooden teeth either.

But this all                                                                                        sounds a bit hairy                                                                                   for the novice,

it’s kinda scary,

maybe I should                                                                                         just—take it slow.

I’ll date my computer                                                                           for a while

and see how things go.
