Timely Poem

So this afternoon I am looking through a book of poetry by Shel Silverstein, Falling Up, for an upcoming school visit. Here's the poem that struck a chord with me...

Writer Waiting

Oh this shiny new computer -
There just isn't nothin' cuter.
It knows everything the world ever knew.
And with this great computer
I don't need no writin' tutor,
'Cause there ain't a single thing that it can't do.
It can sort and it can spell,
It can punctuate as well.
It can find and file and underline and type.
It can edit and select,
It can copy and correct,
So I'll have a whole book written by tonight
(Just as soon as it can think of what to write).

From Falling Up by Shel Silverstein, 1996.

Have a happy Tuesday! :)
