Technology

In  nineteen hundred and  fifty three

We went for a holiday by the sea

With a book of stamps to send postcards home

And a bag of pennies for the boarding house   ‘phone

A supply of Penguin paper backs

And a couple of fold-away Pac a Macs

Scrabble, Monopoly and Ludo too

And a packet of Beechams in case we got flu

And now it’s two thousand and twenty two

And we’re on hols in the land of the didgeridoo

Armed with Kindle,  iPhone and Satnav

Plus iPad and laptop - a certain “must have”

Technology’s great when it everything works

In modern day living it’s one of the perks

But we can’t get a signal and well up the creek

Thank goodness we’re here for just one more week
