Luddites Laugh Last
by Criminy Pickett
The panache of a smart device
On the surface it seems quite nice
But note, they’re attackable
And highly hackable
Convenience comes at a price
Woe, the internet of things!
Lots of trouble it brings
So call me old-fashioned
But I’ve got a passion
For landlines, wires, and strings
Yes, an archaic Luddite am I
Eschewing trends that belie
A wi-fi reliance
(I’m in firm defiance …
the uncool and not-with-it guy)
So remember when Twitter goes down
All the times you thought me a clown
That Luddites laugh last
(and the popcorn we’ll pass!)
As we spectate the cyber meltdown
