Screen Time

Screen Time
By Auntie B 8/15/10

Do you spend all your time
In front of a screen?
How much of your world
Have you not really seen?

Are you so very crazy
About your TV shows
That you never even notice
When it storms and when it snows?

Or is it the computer
Or the smartphone that's your thing?
Do you ever smell the flowers
When they're blooming in the spring?

I'll bet you it's those games
That you always love to play
Do they let you learn life's secrets
Or are they in the way?

Amazing things are happening
And I'd hate to think you missed 'em
Just because you were so focused
On a silly gaming system
