John Philip Sousa to the Rescue

   
 

By: Laurie L.

 
   
I don't have the mind

To be mechanically inclined

My car clock is still on daylight savings time
I don't know how to change it.. not such a crime.
My cell phone is a combat zone
It freezes up for reasons unknown
The sound gets weaker and weaker
Then suddenly it's on speaker
I persevere and try to hear
Pressing it against my ear, Oy vay iz mir.
It's ring sounds like all the others

I can't tell if it's mine or anothers

My granddaughter changed my ringtone to something clever
Something that made it's ring unique so whenever
My phone rings, I know it's mine.  However,
All heads turn when it blasts The Stars & Stripes Forever.
I was never able to chew gum and walk
Now I can't walk and on the phone talk
If I'm driving I have to pull to the side
If I'm walking I have to stop mid stride
At home I still use a corded phone
To talk I need to be seated on a chair or throne
My VCR is brand new in box and ten years old
On Ebay it was just sold
Never used, never out of it's box
Knew this thing I could never outfox.
But now I've got a bigger fish to fry
I could absolutely just cry.
My daughter turned out to be a traitor
Just bought for my car a navigator.
Doesn't anyone around me get it?
I'm a mechanical dimwit.
