Silicon Valley…a Poem

Having spent twenty years in the Silicon Valley
It’s time to come up with a tally
of things that matter most

in this very special place.

Where the climate is so sunny

and so many are driven

to chase that big money

with ways to make things happen

with less brawn and more brain

And someday who knows

they’ll come up with an algorithm

to make it sunny

when the forecast calls

for rain

But one thing I know

one thing I can explain

and that is that in this bastion

of ambition, smarts and power

where dreams sometimes come true

and sometimes go sour

that in this land of zeros and ones

much of the time…

life could simply be

a lot more fun?
