Grandma's Gone Computer!

A friend sent this to me and said it reminded her of me. I don't understand why, but maybe you will ;-)

~ Grandma's Gone Computer ~

In the not too distant past
--I remember very well--
Grandmas tended to their knitting,
and their cookies were just swell.
They were always at the ready,
when you needed some advice.
And their sewing (I can tell you)
was available--and nice.
Well, Grandma's not deserted you,
she dearly loves you still.
You just won't find her cooking,
but she's right there at the till.
She thinks about you daily--
you haven't been forsook.
Your photos are quite handy,
in the Pentium notebook.
She scans your art work now though,
and combines it with cool sounds,
to make electronic greetings.
She prints pictures by the pound.
She's right there when you need her,
you really aren't alone,
She's out now with her "'puter pals,"
but she took her new cell phone.
You can also leave a message
on her answering machine;
or page her at the swap meet;
She's been there since eight fifteen.
Yes, the world's a very different place,
there is no doubt of that.
So "E" her from her web page,
or join her in a chat.
She's joined the electronic age,
and it really seems to suit her.
So don't expect the same old gal,
cause Grandma's gone "Computer"

Hi! Thanks for stopping by and visiting my blog. I have to tell you I'm racking my brains trying to remember you but I'm guessing I didn't call you "Grandma" LOL. Now you are going to have to help me out on your name...is it Stodard or something like that? I'm absolutely AWEFUL at remembering names but I remember faces. I looked love Blogging and am happy to find another Grandma that blogs too! Loved the poem.
