Ode to Fathers and Technology

As I ponder my existence as a dad experiencing the eternal struggle to retain tech harmony at home, I am inspired to write yet another poem. (cough) Here we go…

Fathers and Technology

Every day is a fight
To keep my tech working right
And yesterday’s solution
Can create more confusion

In my head I can’t recall
My smart home laughs at my gall
To think I am in control
I feel like a lump of coal

Tech changes so quickly now
My gear often just says ciao!
Today what I really want
Is just one day with détente

T-800 mows my lawn
HAL serves veal parmesan
It’s silly to think they can
When you feel like a madman

But each morning holds the key
My son is my nominee
At nine he is the future
Born to tech he is super

I see what really matters
Fatherhood fills the chapters
Being a dad is the gift
Who cares our tech is adrift?

Happy Father’s Day to all
Stand up for your curtain call
Take a photo if you can
If not, enjoy as caveman

Are you still here?
(Remarkable)

All right then…

Ode to Tech Geeks on Father’s Day

Are you married to a guy who’s also wedded to his tech? What did you get him for Father’s Day? To honor the ongoing quest, I wrote this little poem…

Ode to Tech Geeks on Father’s Day

Today was the moment
It’s already too late
To get for your hubby
What he thinks is so great

Sure, it is hard to know
What you think he may like
Your spouse is not your son
Who would just love a kite

If more gear is his thing
And you enjoy the arts
Are you feeling outgunned?
When choosing takes tech smarts

But it’s not really tough
To find something nice
Bluetooth cans or thumb drive
Simply roll the tech dice

So it’s never too late
To acknowledge Daddy
A gift is always fine
That’s never too shabby

It doesn’t have to be
Only one time a year
You can pull a surprise
He could shed a real tear

Or look at his kingdom
Not just brick and mortar
He does so much online
Each day fighting Mordor

Does his tech world matter?
It’s up for opinion
When Daddy needs to make
The sandwich gazillion

We all have our places
Our job we must now do
We should give it our best
Or the house is a zoo

But if you say merci
For his being a geek
And he is so super
You are compelled to shriek

Finally it is done
It is simple and true
The gift is in knowing
He always has a clue

To all tech nerd papas
Happy Father’s Day, you
I proclaim us all gods
Now go find that lost shoe
