...but will it get me to Mars?

Question

A tech pome

by Cynthia S.

How do I love Thee, G.P.S.?

Upon this I do ponder.

I love Thee for the length and breadth

of cities where I wander.

In dulcet tones you guide me,

never scold nor chide me.

Great bliss, tremors of ecstacy!

no longer challenged directionally!

Sweet fruit of our technological tree

greater than gold, your worth to me.

Answer 1

Beep Beep!  In getting to where you are going, please pay attention to the road!  A very nice offering here, with a smooth meter attached as I read.  Compliments.

Answer 2

As a surveyor / navigator, I must reply, that one should not trust all fruit that falls from the tech tree.

Some can lead you astray or on the wrong path

for some are not too good at math.

Others produce results of it's own selection

steering you off in the wrong direction.

So be careful when selecting a new device

as some are not at all nice.

And though you were happy with the cost

think the true price if forever you're lost.

Answer 3

I need to get me one of these G.P.S for my truck.

P.S. Thanks for your encouragement towards having the

S.C.S procedure. I needed that. My friend has given me all that I need, but a little more never hurts. Thanks again.

Answer 4

Oh this is great!!

There is a town not far from here and every time I visit there I get all turned around...north becomes south, east becomes west and the peole all look at me funny when I stop to ask for directions.

Answer 5

A truly excellent play on words, a nice read.

I could never totally rely on Tech. to get me where I would like to go, as Tech and me meet to late in years, for me to care to

concentrate, besides to much else to do that brings me joy,

as well I tend to agree a bit with Hydro too.

Yet I do admire, and am amazed at all that Tech can do!

But of this I'm sure, it will never get me Heaven sent.

Answer 6

How cute, I have a daughter who hates traffic so everyone in the family that wants to go some place and miss most of the traffic they call her for directions. A friend sent her a certificate he made up on the computer, for best traffic director and behind her name was G.P.S. Like you would see M.D. at the end of a doctors name. She cracked up. We framed it for her and she hung it in her office at home. Sounds like the two of you should be friends. lol

Answer 7

I have often wished that I was able to travel more - in order to fully appreciate a GPS system.  However - I always had fun reading maps - the only problem is - you shouldn't read and drive at the same time ♥

Answer 8

"I am very sorry.  I am not programmed to take you to Mars. Only poetic excellence can take you there.  You must speak with the Master Poet."

Hmmm...I wonder if that mathematician is available...

Answer 9

My son's GPS gets irritated with him when he disobeys orders.  You can hear it in her voice.  When I'm on Mars, I'll send you directions with proper landmarks - starmarks, I mean.

Answer 10

I feel you on this one!

Answer 11

Your are rapidly accumulating frequent flier miles...

Answer 12

You've got a "Geodirectional Planetary Selector"? Wow I saw one of those on Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Glaxay. They are as hot as Babelfish!

NASA's latest merchandising department Hot Seller. Of course it will get you to Mars. Just need the Pluto upgrade which will include Mars. Email nasaproducts@gov and they will send you the catelogue of GPS and upgrades. Lucky you!

Answer 13

When I get to Mars, I'll send a gps beacon to guide you there.
