Codgeriad

to qualify for codger label
and in particular of old
no need to fancy mink or sable
although it's often been foretold

that the utopia forthcoming
what with the advent of AI
when home will need no heat or plumbing
and little need of you and I

will be resisted by the codgers
who incidentally, don't care
rely on these ungrateful dodgers
to build their castles in the air

and to ba-humbug the inventions
that generate our brave new world
avoiding social network mentions
martini shaken, but not swirled
