Babies In 2050

Babies In 2050

How long before I can drive a car?

You always say I'm much too young

So what if I can't actually feed myself

And you still have to change my bum

Times are a-changing dear sweet mother

The new age of majority is two

Us guys have brains like soccer balls

And the balls to try something new

I know my size might be a problem

But with all the new gadgets that exist

As long as my young brain is functional

I can still do most things on the list

Like keeping track of my finances

Making sure I've got enough to retire

As I reach the age of two hundred and ten

With enough till the day I expire

I know it's difficult for you to grasp

And I realize to you this is new

But so many advances have taken place

Us wee folks can live longer than you

So next time you look at us grandkids

And feel sorry we missed what you had

Each new generation has it's own advances

A product of our time, good or bad

Well done my Jack for another superb piece. Just think of all those fantastic exciting things to come to all our children and future generations. Geoff and I have six children four boys and two girls and now we`ve got 13 grandchildren and I`m going to become a great grandmother soon too, so our house is very full at family celebrations and especially at Christmas which I adore because we all get together and have a great time, a very busy and hard work filled time, but I love cooking for all of them on Christmas day and I wouldn`t have it any other way either. It`s a good job that we have a large dining room and a very large cooker, it`s an industrial one like those that they have in restaurants. Well done for a brilliant piece that makes the reader think hard about the future of our children and all the fun to come for them all. An enjoyable read indeed.

God bless and keep you safe and well sweetie

Love and hugs

G xx

My gait is much slower
My memory's shot
