When I was a brash young man,

Googoo impressed, I was transfixed by our possibilities

Upside down I did my puzzles daily

I wasn’t meant to be sane

Just a little outside the track

We all rode on, suddenly I was tempted

By our freedom, I tried to slow down,

Tried to stop the randomness

Which showed me to be a loser,

When I asked which way to go –

He answered me humbly “You’re doing the right thing

Just expect less of your efforts…”
