\"1..christy<\/p>\n

Forty years ago
\nI became a clown
\nand what a joyful job it was
\nI was known all over town<\/p>\n

I sang my songs and told my tales
\nand gave my puppets voices
\nbut now today I’m really “lost”
\namong the techno choices<\/p>\n

who wants a clown…let’s play a game
\nIT’s POKEMAN GO these days!
\nI can’t compete with technology
\nI don’t think it’s just a “phase”<\/p>\n

For little ones can use I-pads
\nand Smart Phones are the norm
\nSo I write poems day and night
\nhere in my senior “dorm”<\/p>\n

I entertain myself these days
\nand sometimes all night too
\nI’ve joined the Poetry Marathon
\nTechnology …wins…’tis true!<\/p>\n
