MS. PAC-MAN OR LAUNDRY
Folder:
MEANDERTHAL MAN
A Ms. Pac-man stands off
in a corner near the Men’s Room
there’s very little dust
no doubt a few mid timers
(not to be confused with old timers)
still enjoy the game
I could play a game or two
The machine still takes quarters
and I have a few quarters
sitting in my pocket
but I also need the quarters
to do my laundry
So do I avoid getting suckered in?
I suppose I could
It wouldn’t be the first time
if I showed up Monday morning
hungover, bleary eyed
shamefully clad in dirty clothes
It wouldn’t be the first time
and only a fool
would assume it would be the last
Amusing : )
You might see some 'whippersnappers' there, too ; ) My niece is getting really into Ms. Pac-man. I guess it's becoming a bit of a thing, again. A sign, perhaps, that within advanced technology itself, there is a subset of us that long for simpler times.
I'm a bit of a luddite
I'm a bit of a luddite myself. I am grudgingly learning to adapt to new technology.

The more complexed the civilization, the more the need for the simplicity of play. And the two year plays with discarded wrapping paper and ribbon and imagination.

throwing a stick and watching
throwing a stick and watching my dog chase it is entertaining enough for me.
