Old Fashioned

I am someone who watches the tube
(even though it doesn’t have one anymore).
I put things in the ice box
and am careful to close the door.
Busy hands make short the work
and put the bread on the table,
for all the hungry mouths I'll feed
as long as I am able.
But when the day is done
the evening hours are mine.
I open up the Windows
and enjoy my blue screen time.
