When my kids start talking to me about Minecraft

A poem in free verse.

When my kids start talking
To me about Minecraft
While we sit at the dinner table
Eating tacos and carrots

Now I know what my parents
Were thinking when I talked
To them about Super Mario Bros.
While we sat at the dinner table
Eating salmon cakes and turnip greens
In 1988.

Which is to say:
I have no idea
What you are talking about.
