Cheques have checked out
Banks no longer recognising cheques:
You were probably expecting me to hang out banks to dry.
If so, I do not really understand why.
I have no particular sympathy with banks
I am not a shareholder so no thanks
Is being expressed with this little ditty
Especially when interest rates are so ……
Sorry I wandered away from my message
Quite easy to do when I am in my dotage
Do you remember being told that we
Were about to enter a paperless society?
It was such a long time ago that we probably
Can barely remember one day it would actually be.
For myself I do not feel misled or dudded
As those trees in the forest that thudded
To the ground to provide the paper
For printing cheques are so much safer
So many organisations, like Senior Net
Were offering for free, training in the Internet
They recognised the world was changing and wanted
To help get us onboard the technology train before it shunted
Off down the track to never come back
I know the anxiety is real for those who have used
Cheques all their lives. Of course, they are confused.
I want to encourage them and say
Do they remember there once was a day
When they overcame their fear that the new microwave
Would nuke them to Kingdom come? So again, be that brave
80 years ago:
About 80 years ago I was taking photographs with a Kodak Box Camera including the 2 uploaded photos of the house where we were living in Epson, Auckland. The ground floor walls were built with stones and the washhouse had no windows so it was perfect for developing film and printing photos. And 80 years later I still enjoy taking photos, even without the Box Camera😁. The house was destroyed to be replaced by apartments. It feels like a part of me has been stolen and destroyed.😦😦
Poll: Is it rude to talk on the phone on a bus?
Buses can be a relaxing way to get home if you have a seat and enough space. However, it can be off-putting when someone is taking a phone call next to you.
