Doing Without Poem by Audrey Heller

It's amazing, how you become used to
having the modern conveniences, at your
beck and call! Should by any chance,
something break down and needs to be
repaired, it's a big catastrophe, after all!
How quickly we get spoiled, with all the
new technology, which came our way.
Can you possiblly imagine, how hard it
would be without it, if only for one day!
I've asked myself, what did we do before?
How did we manage to get along? We
had to rely on our brains and pretty much
on our brawn. We did what we found
necessary to do. Now, if we had to do
all the work by ourselves, we'd be finished,
before we're even half way through! I've
always maintained, you can never really
miss, what you haven't got. But once you've
acquired, a taste, everything you have,
means an awful lot!
