Technology Overload
By Larry Chadwick

This whole thing about technology,
Is really starting to get to me.
They advertise about gadgets and staying in touch,
About how they can help you ever so much.

I love chatting with my daughter online every day,
It helps us to keep up with each other that way.
Instant Messenger tells me another friend says hi,
And of course, I am obligated to offer a brief reply.

Never mind I’m on hold for tech support on my cell,
When from my land line a ring of the old fashioned bell.
AT&T says they’ll help me reach out and touch,
But I’m thinking four conversations at once is too much!

So now I’m experiencing a serious overload,
Buying all these services, I have been snowed.
I have decided what to a telemarketer I’ll tell,
“You want me to by what? Ah, go to…click

This is great, good to "see" you, Larry.
Hey, isn't that your cell phone ringing

Talk may be cheap, Larry, but we do pay for it, don't we?

I never knew my fingers could get so sore from talking!

Larry, sometimes you just have to pull the plugs(s). You are still laughing in your pic, so guess the PC crash/reload didn't kill your sense of humor. Great pic!
We've missed you the last few days.

Irish Rose,
Hey, it is good...hello.

Balladeer,
Ain't that the truth. Pity those who type with two fingers or talk real slow. LOL

Midnitesun,
Well my PC is still down. I just got resourceful and got my work laptop loaded for internet! Missed ya! Some plugs I won't pull. LOL
