Rhyme Time
Getting hi-tech

What a technology worldwide

Everything today leaves you tongue-tied

From radios, TVs and mobiles to everything dignified

What is there that the modern engineer has not modified

To everything the great minds have been applied

They simply do not leave anybody unsatisfied

In making the best, they take pride

The chair near the computer nobody can vacate

After all, Internet is everyone’s mate

Technology can bring in front of you the whole globe

What a wonderful web did the technology weave

Instant food made possible by microwave oven

These ovens made pizzas alien to none

Our grannies could not be that luxurious

I know they must be furious.

They used neem leaves

Instead of ‘Good Knight’

Instead of LCDs

They had TVs that were black and white.

The clocks again and again they wound

Because they did not have batteries that make the hands go round and round

So you see the technology that has developed worldwide

The technology that has left you wide-eyed.
