I'm tired of business sprawl.
I'll shop online this fall.
I will not enter
A shopping center.
See one, you've seen a mall.
— Sally Yocom

Though we Utahns do love our Jazz,
When they lose we give them the razz.
But when they do win,
We say with a grin,
"Those Jazz are the razz-a-ma-tazz."
— Mrs. John Taylor

Life ain't what it was in the past.
I've lived in this century and the last.
It was simpler then
And I still have a yen,
For the old days, when life was a blast.
— Wayne E. Bott

There once was a man named Mitt
Who thought being president would fit
So he started a campaign
Against Huckabee and McCain
Then he patriotically quit.
— Ron Dale

Excuse me, who's calling my cell?
I'm busy right now L-O-L
Now, I'm getting a text ...
I wonder what's next?
Technology she makes me yell!

I've friends in Beijing and Kuwait.
They all read my blog
On my Facebook they log
I no longer feel pressure to date!

Our English we once wrote with pride,
But in the computer it died.
We now cannot spell it.
You can't even tell it
Was once that on which we relied.
— Bryant M. Pulley

His phone is as small as can be.
He bowls without lanes with his Wii.
A technical race
For more in less space
But, don't touch his BIG SCREEN TV!
— Diana Walters

In two-thousand-one it all started,
A century not for the scared or faint hearted.
Up and down it has bounced,
Hopes and fears both are trounced.
Only humor has kept our path charted.
— Martin Calderwood

There still is a war in Iraq
Our warriors there never do slack,
With dust, heat and sand
They serve in that land,
Our prayer is they soon will be back.
— Clara Olpin Snell

Polar caps are both melting, you know.
It's our greenhouse gasses; and so,
Stop driving like fools
And invent different fuels.
Or, maybe our cars just need "Beano!"
— Gary Fannin
