My son, Greg, has, at last, persuaded me to use Skype! ( All right, I've been slow!)
THOROUGHLY MODERN RINKLY!
I resisted!
Greg insisted!
True to type!
The time was ripe!
I said 'Why?'
He said 'Try!'
I gave in!
Couldn't win!
I said 'How?'
Greg said 'Now!'
When I looked
I was hooked.
I'm on Skype,
Lots of hype.
I'll need make-up
When I wake-up!
I'll be seen
On the screen!
No more scruff
Sure enough!
Great big smile
All the while!
Can I cope?
I must hope.
Will my vision
Cause derision?
Would it be better
To write a letter
With, perhaps,
Some flattering snaps?

If I had Skype, I might need to keep a large paper bag handy to go over the head when 'not at home' syndrome struck...
That's a coincidence! My daughter persuaded me to take skype the day before yesterday! But nobody can see me, only hear! Some one in Australia, a friend of my daughter's rang me after seeing that I was on skype. It's easy and much cheaper. Great poem Brenda!
I just starting skyping with my Mom too! It's sooo nice to actually see her face! I can almost feel her hug when I see her on the screen! A letter can't compare to SEEING my Mommy! I'm glad that your son insisted!
Another coincidence? Wonderful. Now try saying that in three lines of 5-7-5 syllables, or thereabouts! I don't think haiku has to be just about nature, do you?
Couldn't manage skype when we lived in Morocco
too weak an internet service.
Will have to try again in NY
A teenager would envy you..
You have technology at your finger tips..!!!
Congrats :)))
