Just wondering how they lived, my ancestors
Using capsules to the moon and back
Carrying tablets and pads and phones
Heard they used to dial numbers and wait
Until the other person picked their call
What a life!
Saw some of those antiques today-
Ferrari, Lamboghini and Maybach-poor sods
A snail’s speed it must have been.
Hospitals used a thing called laser
Which they called a major breakthrough
Just called a friend now by thinking it
Gazillion digits floating in my digital bank
Upgrade and update in milliseconds
And we’re nowhere near where we want to be
Great ending line to a great poem! A snails speed it must have been! Great!
