I walked through the woods one day,
---------------------------------------------
The world is moving away from me,
where in 1861 two forces fought all day.
There were cannons left in the field,
Neither side was willing to yield.
Both sides lost many men,
They rested overnight and at sunrise they went at it again.
The Union army turned and fled,
The Confederate army chased them all the way back to Saint Louis passing many who were dead.
I can no longer keep up with technology.
For 47 years I worked in the technology field,
No matter the electronic problem I forced it to yield.
Retirement snared me in 2010,
It seemed pretty good back then.
16 years later doesn’t sound like a lot,
I went from 65 to 81 as my mind slowly went to pot!
I’ve kept up with my writing and I think I’m still reasonably good,
But not with technology as I should.
If I could go back in time I could make a change,
But that could make today rearrange.
The life I’ve had has not been bad,
For the adventures, and the family I’ve had, there’s no complaints for this old dad.
