Electronic moronics are not for me However, here am I meeting you for the first time through the medium. I like your style and am in complete sympathy with the good old curl up and read bit. I am considerably younger than you (a stripling of 88) I shall peruse further your work with confidence To give you an idea of my persona... the other day I was telling my wife of how Irving Berlin was asked if he had something patriotic for the war effort in 1942

Mister Vogler, thank you so much for your comment! As well as for your humourous writings! I suspect that humour is what has kept you young-at-heart!

Thanks so very much, Lorraine Margueritte, for reading & commenting! Good luck rearranging that library- - I once helped a friend with that job. Her husband was a writer, and we spent the better part of the day dusting off books, dusting off shelves, and putting everything back again! Quite tedious work!

A eloquent poem of great sentiment for those wonderful bygone days. Well I'm not yet ready to trade in my books or my charts for those new convoluted devices. However if I installed one of those new flushing contraptions on my ship, it would not go unnoticed by the crew.

That's okay, Tom- - a humourous rhyming comment is acceptable to a serious poem- - besides, what you wrote is true! Electronics are taking over the world! Thank you for commenting!
