Serendipity

Luddite I know     something about
Sabots     sabotage  shoes thrown in
Machinery     Industrial Revolution
England     Ned Ludd 1820

Now Technical Revolution
Computers     documents los  Cell phone
calls dropped     TiVo     iPods
I’m such a Luddite

There’s another
L word niggling ‘round
The corner     peeks in     dashes out
Maddeningly evasive

Perusing the workbook
AP European History exam
Why does she do that?
Got me

There it is     right there
Lollard     John Wycliff breaks with Rome
Early Reformation     England 1350
The other L word

Now I sleep better
