16 (16.08.2014)

When I see my children play before me,
The gentle ipad glowing in their eyes,
I understand that though they adore me,
What's more important is Kinder Surprise.
All bread and all circus wrapped up in foil
Joyful escape from the world for a while,
A moments release from boredom and toil
Plastic and chocolate that brings forth a smile.
They want a new game, I download the App
I'm well aware that this joy won't last long
But time enough I hope for a quick nap
And when I wake perhaps start a new song.
Distracted, lost and trapped, a gilded cage,
Technology for children's all the rage.
