dating myself...

oh silly me

what was

i thinking...

.

i walked thru the doors of

three big box stores

in search of a boom box

a simple cd player

with speakers

they thought i was joking

just download your cd's

put them into a computer

the first guy said

and then what

i asked

upload them on your mp3 player

oh seriously

i'm going to spend all that time

to just listen to a

few christmas cd's

in the next store

they thought i was

...well...

old

like ancient history

in a time warp

out of touch

at last i found this one

it will also play my ipod

which i do own

although it's a hand me down

from my oldest son

the very first model

i just don't want to

take the time to put a bunch

of holiday music on it

hmm...

maybe i am dating myself

but then i have to ask

if it involves six

different steps

twice the amount of time

and three pieces of equipment

is that progress
