“A Digital World—I’m in the Middle”

~

Digital, digital–

I guess I’m stuck here in the middle.

Numbers on paper, numbers in the air

Oh, this digital world is so unfair.

~

I scribbled and erased when young in school

Now, in the digital world, I feel like a fool.

Being grown-up and not understanding

Yet children’s homework is so demanding.

~

What is a parent to do?

But bend right down to tie their shoe.

Kids these days are smarter than us

The digital world is such a bust!

~

What used to be the ABCs, 1,2,3s

Wasn’t fun, but still a breeze.

Now, machines do this digital thing;

They even know how to talk and sing.

~

Digital, digital;

I guess I’m old and in the middle.
