Unbelievable
The ease to steer
Not conceivable
Great cheer
As a kid
Had to pay attention
Easy to slid
Much tension
Holding the tiller
Left then right
A thriller
And a fight
Trying to stay on course
The current and wind
A tremendous force
What a grind
Look at the compass
Keep the heading
I am no Columbus
Can be upsetting
But with the autopilot
Push a button
Sails through an eyelet
No longer a shut in
I can leave the cockpit
To set the sails
To get coffee
To take a piss
How fantastic
To set the heading
And feel a bit sarcastic
In this wedding
Am I sailing
Or cheating
Or failing
Not competing
As sailors of old
Fighting the sea
Brave and bold
Fiesty and gutsy
But why
Why do I care
Let me clarify
And share
I am free
To enjoy the ride
Not tied to a tree
Sailing is glorified
Sailing from point a to b
Sailing and enjoying
Enjoyment is the reality
Technology deploying
More leisure
To enjoy the trip
Autopilot is a treasure
To sail the ship
What if life
Could be automatically set
Reducing our strife
Hard work and sweat
Could we enjoy a more leisurely path
Or would we squander our time
More evil and wrath
Crime and a more challenging climb
Idle hands lead to trouble
Watch our society
Where problems double
And so does anxiety
The same on a boat
If you get lazy
You might not stay afloat
How crazy
Technology is to make life better
Ends in making it tougher
We missed the newsletter
Technology is a buffer
Separating us from the turmoil
Of a mundane existence
Not to pamper and spoil
But to help us reduce resistance
Use your wit
Technology is good
But do not quit
Do as you should
