Grandma found a new way to travel the world
And now she gives it all a whirl.
By way of the computer screen
View it all like a fairy queen.
She doesn't need to drive
Or spend long hours of ride.
Then when she has seen it all
The facts of history call.
The journey travels to memory lane.
Did others see and record it the same?
Then on search engine, one may find
Things strange to the human mind.
Who can imagine it all?
Now the duties of the day do call.
What will be coming next?
Can they, the simple things, fix?
