Silver Surfers.

Silver Surfers.

They call us all silver surfers,
Though my hair will never be grey,
I have it dyed frequently brown,
It will always be that way.

Silver Surfers are people like me
Who came to the net rather late,
Not clued up to use it you see,
Ignorance was nearly our fate,
But we struggled like mad to master,
Modern technology we could get,
With practice we soon got faster
The twenty first century we all met.

Haven't written a poem for ages, but this one came to me yesterday.

Re: Silver Surfers.


That's a very clever poem








If it's all the same to you though...
I'll keep asking my 8 yr old niece for IT advice

Re: Silver Surfers.

Another written several years ago on the same theme...
Age Gap

My Daughter at age twenty three
Was then far more grown up than me
Now at her age of thirty four
She thinks I have regressed some more
Because I'm buying cuddly toys
And children's films plus other joys

Now I have discovered the internet
The 21st Century I have met.

She thought I'd never reach the stage
Of copy, paste and post on page
Or type a message, send a link
She thought me far too old I think.
She says I'm mad to spend my day
On MSN chatting away
To people I don't even know
May never meet, but even so
I now spend hours on my P.C.
On forums that I've joined for free
Discovered, I have, a whole new World
The cyberspace, is now unfurled.

Re: Silver Surfers.

Thanks, Rhian & Suzuki Sue.

I was in a poetry forum, but having not written any for some time I stopped going.
