Two Bears

 

Once
After a hard day’s forage
Two bears sat together in silence
On a beautiful vista
Watching the sun go down
And feeling deeply grateful
For life.

Though, after a while
A thought-provoking conversation began
Which turned to the topic of
Fame.

The one bear said,
“Did you hear about Rustam?
He has become famous
And travels from city to city
In a golden cage;

He performs to hundreds of people
Who laugh and applaud
His carnival
Stunts.”
 
The other bear thought for
A few seconds
Then started
Weeping.

Annika Trips Life Fantastic on new i-Pad Air!

E-communiques tweet swiftly
Spell-checked text is tedious ;
URL’s traverse to tabs
Links are simply genious!

JPG’s Tiff’s and MP5’s
E-communiques tweet swiftly;
Images to catch your eye
Grab you tight and crisply!

Icons, symbols, screens on fire
Blip and bleep and whoosh and ping
E-communique’s tweet swiftly;
Set you in the circus ring!

Systems nudge you forward briskly
“Keep your tech brain up-to-date!
Come along now, quickly, quickly!”
E-communiques tweet swiftly.
