Bedtime Prayer In A Digital Age

Now I lay me down to sleep,

from the nightstand, buttons beep.

PC all set to download a file

and send the mail in a little while.

Then gather the news before the dawn

and all the scores from fans long gone.

 

The AC is set to cut back on cool;

Lights to blink, the burglars to fool.

Alarm clock set on delayed shutoff;

CD to play some, then cutoff.

Sleep-maker set on medium tension,

Voice mail set on no-wake suspension.

 

Burglar alarm on delay activate;

Carport lite on, for son who's late.

Mr. Coffee all set to percolate;

Dishwasher to run at ten of eight.

Air purifier cleans each hour tonite;

Water filter to fill the tank just right.

 

VCR to tape three good shows,

Something to watch during winter snows.

Motion detectors on, to check what moves;

White noise machine set to seaside soothes.

Camcorder is ready to film in a flash

Blender's all set, the fruit to mash.

 

Lord, Bless our all-electric domain;

Keep lightning away if it should rain.

Let no errant shock reset it all;

Watch over the breaker box in the hall.

I'm wide awake now from all this hassle;

God bless our multi-megawatt castle.

 

 

***********

 


God grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway; the good fortune to run into the ones I do and the eyesight to tell the difference.
